Dzeko, Onana and Acerbi: "A deserved win, let's keep it up"

“We've started the year in the best possible way. We've been waiting a long time for this match and we've come out on top. The goal? Dimarco's cross was inch perfect. But credit must go to everyone, also Mkhitaryan for starting off the move. We worked hard together for the whole game with only one target in mind. Napoli had more of the ball than us but we stayed tight and compact and deserved the win. Pairing up with Romelu? We ran a lot, we dropped back, defended from the front and helped out the team. I had a bit of cramp at the end, which is fine because we worked hard for that tonight. I feel good with all the strikers, this team needs everyone to play its part."”

“I made a vital save, but the most important thing is that we won the game, ending with a clean sheet. We defended really well, I'm proud of the lads' performance, it was a massive game for us and I'm really happy to get these three points. I'm really happy with the reaction of my defenders after my save because sometimes you can save but it comes back out and the opposition score from the rebound, but that didn't happen tonight because they reacted really well. We knew how big the game was. We were all ready for a night like this, and I just want to play my part and help my teammates in every moment in a match, even through my attitude. ”

“A defeat would have made life tough for ourselves, but now we still have lots to play for. We played really well, very aggressive, strong, courageous and with lots of determination. This is how we need to play in the following games: losing points at Monza would waste all the hard work done here. We need to get on a run of winning games. Napoli's start to the season was something extraordinary, but with the intensity we played with this evening is a great starting point. What's certain is we mustn't make any more false steps.”
