Fagioli: "We were desperate to qualify"

The midfielder was ecstatic after his side sealed their passage into the next round of the Conference League:

“It feels amazing to reach the next round. We’d worked really hard for this match and our aim was to make it through. We’re delighted with the result.”

“We had a great first half. In the second half our pressing game slackened a bit – we need to improve in this regard. The penalty they scored late on meant we were suffering a bit towards the end, but we held on and we’re really happy with the result.”

“I feel great in my role in the team alongside my team-mates. They guys here are fantastic and the coach is helping me a lot. I’m really happy to be here.”

“I know all about this rivalry [with Juventus] because I’ve experienced it on the other side. It’s always a great game because I’ll be up against my former team-mates. I love those guys and my bond with that club is strong. However, now I’m a Fiorentina player and I’ll give my all for this shirt.”
