00:00The first win is important because we've been waiting for it for a long time.

00:08It came a little later than expected, but we're happy with the result.

00:17I think the match on Sunday was very important for us in terms of motivation.

00:24It was a match in which we struggled to find some game plans,

00:29which we had tried during the week, but we were also able to find a lot of solutions.

00:34This freedom and mental openness can only bring us enthusiasm

00:41or work positively in the coming weeks to face the next matches.

00:54It was definitely very important to get a point in the derby.

00:58First of all, in terms of motivation.

01:00The derby is always a game in itself, a game that brings you a lot of emotions.

01:05So getting a point in a game in which we suffered

01:09gives you a lot of awareness of what it is to be able to suffer for a team.

01:16We also had that on Sunday against Lazio, because Lazio played a great match.

01:23The desire to win then led you to turn it around.

01:32I'm sorry I didn't get the first clean sheet yet,

01:36but I'm sure that if we keep working like we've been doing this week, it'll come soon.

01:41I'm very happy with how the defence is behaving,

01:45the game plans we're working on, the balance and the dynamics,

01:52which are slowly becoming more and more consolidated.

01:58Often I don't even need to call my team-mates,

02:02so I'm really happy with how we're behaving behind the scenes.

02:12This season brings with it a lot of new things,

02:15a new way of working, a new philosophy.

02:18For me, it's great because it's very motivating.

02:21The new things, the changes, always lead to the possibility of improving.

02:25On the other hand, all changes need time to be put in place.

02:30So the difficulty is to maintain self-esteem

02:36and to keep working, even if the results don't come immediately.

02:42You need to have time, confidence and self-confidence

02:48to keep improving and always look for personal improvement.

02:57For me, wearing the captain's armband is an honour,

03:00waiting for Cristi to return.

03:02But it doesn't change the responsibility I have for the team.

03:06What I do is always be present when needed,

03:11be a reference point for my team-mates when they need me.

03:18The game against Napoli will be a very difficult game.

03:22On a tough pitch, which in previous years

03:26has brought us a few points,

03:28it's a pragmatic team, a concrete team.

03:31So we expect a battle,

03:34and that's what we're preparing for this week.
