The Sassuolo won 6-1 against Cittadella and Cristian Volpato scored the first goal in Serie B. The Italian-Australian commented on today’s success at the Mapei Stadium in a press conference: “We all have to participate in the game from the bottom, not just me but everyone. If we play well from the bottom then who scores goals isn’t important and I think we have to continue like this.”
Can you tell us about the goal?
“I gave it to Thorstvedt, he shot, I continued running to get something. Then Armand Laurienté was there too, when I saw the ball fall I said ‘shot’, let’s hope for the best and it went.”
How much does this goal mean to you?
“It’s important for me because it’s my first goal in Serie B. Now I have to keep my head down and continue to work for myself and the team.”
Berardi returned today: is it a stimulus, an extra help in that role?
“We are all happy, not just me, to have Berardi back with us. He is a sumptuous player, he is a very good person who helps me a lot but also helps the team with the advice he gives you because he is one of the best in football and we are all happy “.
This year you seem to have a different union than last year…
“We have to give credit to the coach because from day one everyone liked his way, how to work as a group, he built this, it came naturally to him, everyone gets along with everyone, everyone goes to war for everyone and I have to give credit credit to the coach.”
They often say you are out of category. How do you live it?
“I think it’s a stimulus because everyone can talk but we have to prove it every week. Then if we feel like we’re a good team, that there are many strong players, but we have to prove it every Saturday.”
