We\u2019re happy, also because we kept a clean sheet \u2013 for the second time in three games in this Serie A season. We played well and deserved this victory: it\u2019s a good start to the season, and we have to keep working.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A TEAM THAT FIGHTS<\/strong><br\/>\u201cWinning today was also important to erase the memory of our last home defeat in the Coppa Italia: our fans deserved a victory. We\u2019re a combative team that wants to win every duel, every ball. We showed that today, and we have to show it every time, in every game. My substitution? I was a bit tired; staying on the pitch at that point could lead to making a mistake: it was right for a teammate who was at 100% to come on in my place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ALL TOGETHER FOR KEVIN<\/strong><br\/>\u201cWe heard this afternoon about the bereavement that has affected Kevin Carlos. We\u2019re close to him. We send him and his family a warm embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WORKING TO GROW<\/strong><br\/>\u201cLast season was useful for me to adapt to football in Italy and to get into the team\u2019s mechanisms. We came from Uruguay, from a different league. This year I have more experience, and I want to do more for this Club and for the team. I\u2019m doing that, but I have to keep improving. Every game is an exam. I get along well with Deiola; he\u2019s the captain, he leads everyone, especially us younger players. He has a lot of experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FALLING AND GETTING BACK UP<\/strong><br\/>\u201cWearing the captain\u2019s armband in the previous game and being considered one of the team\u2019s leaders is a great source of pride for me: I thank the Club and all my teammates for their trust. Against Hellas, I had played a good game, but then I made a mistake towards the end that unfortunately cost us dearly. Those were two difficult days for me; I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about that mistake. I started training with the team and my teammates helped me get through that moment&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26959,"template":"","tags":[],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-26962","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
