Pietro Pellegri, Empoli strikerwas interviewed by The Tyrrhenian Sea: “It had never happened to me to score three goals in three games in a row, simply because I had never played with such continuity. If an attacker plays in Serie A he knows how to do his job and if he plays, he also happens to score. After the goal with At Udinese I ran to hug D’Aversa because the coach is giving me confidence and space, then I showed Haas’ shirt because this goal is dedicated to him after his serious injury.”
Speaking of injuries, Pellegri doesn’t want to talk about it anymore: “I’m tired of being labeled as the one who always gets hurt. That’s not the case. I’ve never had particularly serious injuries, but muscle problems. All of us footballers work under physical stress every day and injuries and setbacks happen to everyone. Today, However, I know my body better and am able to manage myself.”
Then Pellegri focuses on his experience with the Milan shirtin which he said he learned a lot by observing Ibrahimovic and Giroud: “That parenthesis was very formative. I saw every day how certain champions work and the Rossoneri club is at the top at all levels. And on Saturday obviously I will try to score again and punish her.” And then closing on how he feels at Empoli: “I have to thank the sporting director Gemmi, who immediately gave me great trust, as did the whole environment. The club and fans do everything to put you in the best conditions and I have never found a united locker room like ours is today. In the morning you wake up and can’t wait to get to the pitch. We continue to fight for our goal, salvation.”
