Jovic targeting goals in Serie A

14 July 2022

Luka Jovic sat down for his official unveiling as a Fiorentina player on Thursday, two days after scoring four goals on debut appearance in a Viola jersey against Real Vicenza.

Here is a selection of his quotes.

SERIE A
“I grew up watching Serie A and I can't wait to start playing in it myself. Nowadays you see lots of goals in Serie A and it's enjoyable to watch.”

SHIRT NUMBER AND PENALTIES
“I liked the No.7 and it was the only one free that I could choose from. I'm working hard in training to get to grips with how the coach wants to play. Penalties are important – especially for strikers – and I hope to take them and score as I did in the first friendly.”

TARGETS
“Our first objective is qualify for the group stage in Europe. I've played in the Europa League and the Champions League before. Now I'll get to try the Conference League.”

COMPETITION
“There are lots of excellent players in this team. [Arthur] Cabral is a great guy, besides being a fantastic player. I saw what he could do when he was at Basel. There's healthy competition for places but we have the same aim, which is to win with Fiorentina. We're all part of the same team and everyone needs to help and be helped by the others. You can't achieve anything alone.”
