“Tonight we faced a great Szczesny and I congratulate him,” he told Rai Sport after the match.
“We controlled the game for almost its entirety and it wasn’t easy. We have to continue like this and go one game at a time.
“The atmosphere is calm: we needed this victory, we deserved it and it gives us even more strength to move forward with calmness.
“Even if it’s difficult not to, we try not to think about anything other than ourselves. We needed this win to convince ourselves that we’re a great group.
“The Coach makes us give our best in every training session. We have to listen to him and go on like this.”
