Federico Chiesa inspired Juventus to a 3-1 win over Milan on Wednesday, but the winger praised the ‘collective’ effort to bring home the three points.
It was not all rosy for the winger, who asked to be substituted after having scored his second goal of the night in the 63rd minute, but the Italy international stressed it’s nothing serious.
“I’m fine, I only had a hip problem, no muscular injury, I’ll recover tomorrow,” Chiesa told Sky Sport Italia.
Federico Chiesa inspired Juventus to a 3-1 win over Milan on Wednesday, but the winger praised the ‘collective’ effort to bring home the three points.
It was not all rosy for the winger, who asked to be substituted after having scored his second goal of the night in the 63rd minute, but the Italy international stressed it’s nothing serious.
“I’m fine, I only had a hip problem, no muscular injury, I’ll recover tomorrow,” Chiesa told Sky Sport Italia.
“I didn’t run very well, I told the coach that I couldn’t sprint and he made his choice.”
The former Fiorentina man said the goals are a result of his ‘continuity’ and commitment.
“More than anything else, it’s the continuity of performance,” he added. “Even if you don’t score, you must play well, you have to give everything.
“And the goals are the result of this. The coach asks me to throw myself into the spaces because players like [Paulo] Dybala and Cristiano [Ronaldo] see things that the others don’t.”
Chiesa admitted he has felt the ‘greater responsibilities’ at Juventus.
“They ask for something more from you,” he said. “The responsibilities are greater. I’m always generous on the pitch, I always try to help the team even in defence.
“I’m very happy, because in the first half, when they attacked us, the team suffered together.
“Today is a great collective result, we are really happy.”
