Dumfries on fire, another goal: "We practiced that corner with Asllani..."

“I am very happy to have scored this goal, thanks to a perfect corner from Asllani, who is a brilliant player: we were training on this sort of situation from a corner this morning, and it went well. The first half of this match was really difficult, Empoli were very compact but we were patient. There are a lot of games but we are a strong group, there are lots of players that we can rotate with: we work everyday to continue on this path. It's a great moment for me: I am happy. I think I have grown, mentally I am very concentrated on each match, it's very important for me, it's something that I've worked a lot on with the staff and I have improved on it. Napoli? I watched the match yesterday, it was a good match between two great teams. Napoli are a strong side, but so are we. They're having a great season, but we must only concentrate on ourselves. I don't know if I'm smiling more this year, I know that it's a positive moment and that I am working a lot and this is the important thing. We will need to win against Sparta Praha, it's very important for us: we are ready. Esposito? I asked him for his shirt, he's a brilliant player: I saw his qualities in pre-season, we often joked around together, we used to both say that we're pretty good in the penalty area. I am happy that we won, he scored but we took the three points. ”

“I am happy. We play every match to win. I know Empoli well, I played there for 13 years, they are never scared of coming to play at San Siro and play well, but we did well because in the first half we didn't find much space, but then Lautaro opened the scoring with a great goal and we played to reward ourselves with these three points. Lautaro? We're happy to have a captain like him, he gives the team a boost during difficult moments and always helps us, we are happy to have a captain like him. ”
