Speaking with DAZN, he said after the defeat against AC Milan, everyone was upset.

While nothing that Stephano Pioli’s men gave them a difficult game, he said Pertonopei was an organised team with determination and desire to win, adding that it thus deserved to win on Sunday.

The former Lille striker has ended a run of four consecutive headed goals. He said he has been working on this part of his game, especially after wearing a protective mask for a facial fracture.

He further revealed that during some practice in training, Mario Rui and Di Lorenzo helped him with some crosses.
