Federico Chiesa “couldn’t even imagine such an evening” after destroying Roma 7-1 in the Coppa Italia with his career first hat-trick.
The Italy international celebrated the first hat-trick of his senior career in the 7-1 demolition of Roma to book a Coppa Italia semi-final against Atalanta or Juventus.
“It was a great game, now we have to focus on this victory, but immediately get our minds on to the weekend and qualifying for Europe,” Chiesa told Rai Sport.
“I couldn’t even imagine such an evening happening, but I thank everyone close to me and dedicate my hat-trick to them. They stood by me even during the difficult times. I am happy because this Fiorentina side is playing well and we are doing battle for 90 minutes.”
Luis Muriel’s arrival from Sevilla seems to have resolved their problems in attack, creating the link that both Chiesa and Giovanni Simeone needed.
“Muriel is a great player and above all he plays for the team. He is a good lad who helped bring the group together and gives everyone a helping hand on the field.
“I am very happy to represent the Viola jersey and now we turn our focus towards Udinese.”
