Asked to predict where his side can finish this season, he replied: "It's risky to unveil your objectives. They say that I am bold, but in reality I am someone who wants to win.

"We have grown since my arrival. We have given signals. We thought about getting off to a good start, but I didn't think about one as good as this.

"I dream that an outsider can dream of a beautiful and clean game. It can happen if everything is correct [i.e there is no perceived corruption in Serie A].

"I don't want to think about the League not being correct."
