“I had a fever a few days ago and only joined up with the team on Saturday,” he told the club’s official website.

“The most important thing was the victory. We beat Atalanta, a team that never stop and recently eliminated us from the Coppa Italia, without forgetting the two defeats from last season.

“We patiently met our objectives during the 90 minutes, and win that we wanted came. We’re top, but our objective is still far away.

“Now we’re focused on Bologna, and we can’t wait to play them.”
