But beyond that, I am really happy with the team. Now we have to continue to be humble and beat on this road".

Against an opponent who played very well – said Fiorentina's external player -. The match? We also know when we make mistakes. We gave away a goal and in the second half we wanted to do everything right. We came in with more strength to do better and win this game. I work to score and make more assists. Today I scored twice and I have to do that again; I have to be even stronger and take the team even higher".
