Diego happy with Serie A debut

Diego feels he is appraoching his real form after struggling with some muscular problems.

“We knew it was going to be difficult and always will be, as that is the situation in Italy,” he said of the 1-0 result.

“Chievo are very organised and were tough to beat, but at the end of the day we took home three very important points.”

He continued: “I am in good shape. There is still a way to go before I can be on top form, but I already feel ready to face any opponent.”

He added: “In Germany I scored 12-13 goals per season on average and think I can continue that trend in Italy, but my real objective is to win the Scudetto. Individual statistics come later.”
