After struggling in the last game going to penalties for the 1st in the cup and in two years in a row, the team was focusing on regularizing their bodies and resting for the next game where they would face Chievo Verona.
Usman are you ok? (Conti)
Yes I am, I'm just tired it's the first time I've played in a game where I'm on the pitch for more than 90 minutes when normally I don't even last the full 90 minutes in a league game. (Usman)
I understand well observed it's your first time spending more than 90 minutes on the field last year you had entered the 2nd half and lasted until the penalties not only you never took penalties in play but you were responsible for taking the first one, really good that you weren't shaken by it. (Cossu)
Well, that simply couldn't happen or I thought about it when Touluose simply blamed me for not being able to score for the team when I was the team's only striker, even though I managed to dribble, position myself to receive passes, I felt that I didn't have adapted to their style of play, because I simply always managed to stay in front of the goal with his passes or even driving the ball and dribbling the players of the opposing team and using my speed and agility, but in return my finishing was terrible and had no no person next to me in case I wanted to play I was stuck alone in the attack instead of being the front of the team.
I understand very well that you decided to come here if I don't doubt that I could score as many goals as you did here. (Desena)
Yeah I realized that too , but you can not think that way when I simply have a partner to share the weight in attack and I have a maestro in the team who gives me wonderful opportunities with my training I improved my technique and accuracy in kicking and now I have , more coldness in front of the goalkeeper so I can position myself better in front of him.

Why that face? (Desena)
I'm not happy to have scored this time against the team that took our chance to go to champions. (Usman)
I understand that's why in the last few days in training you got a frown and made a little excuse that it was because of more than 90 minutes on the field really thinking that you hold a grudge is unexpected. (D)
Well, for me this is also unexpected, but sometimes it happens unconsciously, we have some goals that we can't complete, it ends up being memorable.
You never had one?
If I had? Of course I have, but not as hard as you they were the team we faced in the last game of last season and you only faced them once and that's it now if you had faced them both I imagine what face you would have had.
Well it depends on how the previous game against him was like.
