“We are not barging into the race for third. We are fighting against a great side and will seek three points to stay up there,” the wing-back told Mediaset Premium.

“We are just focusing on ourselves, because if we put in the performance we need, then we’ll return home with a victory.”

The Viola played a thrilling 1-1 draw with Napoli on Monday night and were in the Europa League last Thursday, so this is their third huge game in eight days.

“Fatigue is an issue, but we don’t want any alibis, we’ll give our all.”
