The veteran -striker, now 39, has joined Fiorentina with a free transfer.
During his presentation today, Dzeko said: “Age does not matter. It does not mean that I am not yet ready to give up. Behind everything is the work that a 39-year-old has to do, even more than others. I do it, I still feel good. Now we work hard because this will give us satisfied later.
“Ambition must always be there; it is the basis for achieving great results. Nothing comes naturally; you have to sweat and work hard. Fiorentina has lost three finals in recent years, so you can see that the team and the club are there, and in Viola Park we have everything we need to give everything.”
About the role he sees himself play, Dzeko also said: “I see myself as a center or center striker, further forward or further back. Great players can play together. On the field you always need quality, but you also have to think about the team.
“With many attacking players you certainly score more goals, but we all have to think about the defensive phase.”
