Diouf talks about himself: his role, Serie A, and the national team goal

From the training camp in Germany, Andy Diouf spoke to the reporters present, addressing various topics related to his season and his future with the black and blue shirt.

The midfielder expressed satisfaction with his integration into the group: “It was my first year, now I feel very good in this team with the staff and my teammates: I am very happy to start this season.”

On the possibility of being deployed as a winger, a hypothesis put forward by Chivu, Diouf clarified: “Chivu’s crazy idea of putting me on the wing? I just want to be on the pitch to help the team: on the right or on the left I try to do my best. My natural role is in midfield and I prefer to play there, but I have the qualities to play on the right: I play wherever the coach wants.”

The midfielder then analyzed the differences in Serie A: “Serie A is different, more tactical: sometimes we play against low blocks. I finished the season well and I want to continue like this.”

Among his personal goals stands out the call-up to the senior national team: “I played with the youth teams and the goal is always to go to the first team: that is my goal. Last year the match against Bologna was good, I played a lot and I scored: I want to continue like this.”

Finally, a word about Massolin, a teammate: “He is my friend, he is French and we are the same age: he is an excellent player, he has great qualities and I hope this is just the beginning for him.”
