After a 3-3 draw in their friendly outing at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, the players and coach relayed their thoughts of the match.
MAURIZIO SARRI
“At the moment, we cannot make any assumptions just yet, we have left many players at home. This evening, we gave a chance to youngsters, who were ready. Now, for 10 days, we can train without matches and we can enjoy some good preparation. Ronaldo? He expected to play less, but today I talked to him, and he was very tired, so we decided to rest him. We played in a beautiful stadium, with a large audience and a perfect turf.”
“We finished the game very well in the second half, it was a busy week, and despite a bit of tiredness, we had fun. For me it was a great satisfaction, it always makes me ready and I will always give everything for this shirt. I'm happy for the goal, it happened to me in the past, where I got in from behind. Sarri's training sessions? They are really very funny.”
“The opposition was a very good opposition. They put on a great show for everyone to come and watch. It was a great match because there were six goals – very entertaining. Obviously my being a young player, I would like to get more minutes, but the minutes I have on the pitch, I just have to show people what I can do. Hopefully I will get more minutes and more opportunities to show people what I can do. Physically I feel great. I had a nice break, and we started the pre-season very strong. Physically, individually and collectively, I feel great.”
