Guglielmo Vicario is convinced he's improved vastly since joining Tottenham last year.
Vicario is now a key member of Luciano Spalletti's Italy squad.
He said ahead of Monday's Nations League tie with Israel: "It is a different experience compared to previous ones, changing country.
"Another culture, a different kind of football, it is certainly a baggage of experience that is part of the path that an athlete decides to undertake.
"Participating for the first year in a European competition is teaching me, the pace is high, there is intensity. I try things that I had not tried before and I put them in my career backpack."
On being in the starting XI tonight, Vicario added: "I'm very happy, I just found out and obviously it will be a double emotion since it's being played in Udine where I grew up."
