Lautaro: "This win is an important sign"

“This win will really help us. It’s a great sign for us, both for those who are currently playing and those who are unavailable. For the whole team, in fact. Winning these kinds of matches is important in terms of the path we’re on. We could have done better today, but we need to carry on going down this path, winning games and improving every day. I missed playing: I was out for two weeks and just couldn’t stay at home. I wanted to be in the changing room and joined my teammates in Genoa. I’d like to thank the medical staff for the work they did. We’ve got many games coming up in the next month and a half. It’ll also soon be time for the Champions League, and we need to make sure we’re ready. It’s important for the team to be united, and today was a really good sign. We need to keep this up because it won’t get any easier, and these three points are important so we can remain top of the table. I’m back fully fit because I’ve done a lot of work and running in the past two weeks. I missed being out on the pitch, but I put in the hard graft physically in order to be available again and in the best shape possible. It’s important to win matches like we did today, even when we don’t manage to play like we want to. As regards my contract renewal, we still have a little bit to do, but we’ll see what happens in the coming days. I’m happy and have been focusing on making the best possible return. I’m calm, and we’re almost there.”
