WINNING HEAD MATCHES MEANS QUALITY LEAP – “Undoubtedly if you beat these teams you can play for the top positions in the table, in the first round we came close. We started well, this one against Lazio is the first, we also fixed the goal difference.”

IMPROVED GAMEPLAY – “In the first round we had difficulties in disengaging against teams that press high, you risk losing the ball in a dangerous way. We are working hard on these outings, because the alternative is the long ball. Today we were good.”

DE KETELAERE – “He puts a lot of his effort into it, he’s the one who goes on the pitch and puts in these performances. He’s found an environment in which he feels good, in recent months he’s gained exponentially in confidence. Just looking at the penalty, apart from the fact that he takes them well, he tries the plays were not simple. He made a lot of them today, he loses few balls and also recovers them. We are happy, it was well known that he was a quality player. In football you always move forward, he is doing important things, he is always playing with confidence major becoming a point of reference for the team. I think this is the best compliment for him.”

ABUNDANCE – “It will be amazing, it will be important to play with this spirit given that we will have an impressive sequence of matches. We are in three competitions and the championship will become increasingly tougher, having recovered people like Miranchuk and Holm gives us added value. We would like to build a season of those very important experiences already experienced in the past”.

FOURTH PLACE – “We don’t refuse anything, we are all there within a few points. There are three teams distant, the others are accredited to play for it, including us”.
