Brazilian youngster Dodó spoke with Sky moments after the final whistle between Inter and Sassuolo.

“It’s easier for me to cross balls when we play with 2 strikers. We have to remain optimistic, after Torino no-one considered us anymore whilst tomorrow they’ll be euphoric. I’m happy with the result but also aware that there is a lot of work left to do still.”

“Sabatini’s words? He helped me a lot, I can’t express in words the affection that I have for him. In Mazzarri’s system the wingers make the difference and that’s why I train so much on my movement on the pitch which helps me out on the pitch. I’m learning new ways to move on the pitch although I prefer to play with 4 at the back. What we’re missing to get close to Juve & Roma? They play in a way that everyone knows, with experienced players. We need to grow, we’re young. Their level is very high.”
