Once it was “job done” in Zalaegerszeg for Scotland, Lennon Miller’s attention had already switched back to his new life in Udinese.
The teenager made the move from Motherwell last month and though he is still working his way back after missing a chunk of pre-season, the midfielder is being kept busy… becoming an adult.
Whether it’s finding flats, cars, or the words to order a coffee, Miller is making moves on and off the pitch in Italy.
“I’m really enjoying it,” he said after a late cameo in Scotland’s 2-0 win against Belarus in Hungary.
“Obviously I’ve only been there a few weeks and I’m kind of settling in, so I need to find places, I need to find cars, I need to do all that stuff.
“It takes time but hopefully that gets sorted soon. I’ve learned a lot on and off the pitch – even living by myself.”
Miller is just the latest Scot to settle in Serie A and he highlighted the importance – and weirdness – of having national team players such as Scott McTominay and Che Adams around him.
“I’ve struck up a good friendship with the Italy-based boys,” he added.
“It’ll be weird playing against them but it’s one I’m really looking forward to.
“I need to catch up with a bit of fitness because I missed a wee bit of pre-season, so need to catch up on that and then hopefully we can kick on.”
And the Italian?
“I’ve not started lessons yet but I want to learn the language, that’s one of the reasons I came here.
“You pick up loads in training every day, so I’m getting there and hopefully I can start lesson soon.”
