David De Gea shared his thoughts after Saturday's friendly match against QPR.

ON THE MATCH

"QPR are further ahead in their pre-season preparations. We've only been working for ten days and we have new players slowly bedding in. We need to wait a bit but I like what I see. There's a strong team forming here but we must take things one step at a time.

ON BEING CAPTAIN

"I would act the same way even without being captain but with the armband you feel an even greater sense of responsibility at a big club such as Fiorentina."

ON GROSSO

"We've only been working with him for ten days and we're doing a lot of fitness work at the moment. We need to improve lots of details. He likes to play attacking football."
