Udinese forward Fernando Llorente was ‘very happy’ to have scored his first goal for the Friuli in the 2-0 win over Sassuolo. ‘Now, we are a bit more relaxed’.

The Spanish attacker moved to Udinese on a free transfer in January and the 36-year-old vowed to continue to work hard and ‘keep winning to show where we can go’.

“I’m very happy with the goal I scored against Sassuolo,” he told UdineseTV. “I really wanted to score.

“I immediately had a great time in Udine. The club is great, with fantastic facilities and I was just missing the goal.

“I’m happy to have helped the team, it was an important game for us to climb away from the relegation zone.

“Now, we are a bit more relaxed, but we must keep winning to show where we can go.”

The former Napoli and Juventus forward said there was ‘an excellent feeling’ with the club.

“Right from the start, there was an excellent feeling with the club,” he said. “They told me that Udinese was a great club, but I didn’t expect such a great club.

“I’m not just saying it to say it, I have played in many teams and Udinese are at the level of a top club.

“I found a great group here.”

The veteran forward said the Friuli coach Luca Gotti has a completely ‘different’ style to his former coach at Napoli, Gennaro Gattuso.

“Gattuso and Gotti have two different ways of seeing football,” he said. “Gattuso always proposes to play the ball from the back.

“Udinese, on the other hand, play according to how the visiting team presses us. If they push us a lot, we play straight and skip the lines; it they let us play, we play."
