Dodó: “Everyone wrote us off after Torino now…”

Brazilian youngster Dodó spoke with Sky moments after the final whistle between Inter and Sassuolo.

“It’s easier for me to cross balls when we play with 2 strikers. We have to remain optimistic, after Torino no-one considered us anymore whilst tomorrow they’ll be euphoric. I’m happy with the result but also aware that there is a lot of work left to do still.”

“Sabatini’s words? He helped me a lot, I can’t express in words the affection that I have for him. In Mazzarri’s system the wingers make the difference and that’s why I train so much on my movement on the pitch which helps me out on the pitch. I’m learning new ways to move on the pitch although I prefer to play with 4 at the back. What we’re missing to get close to Juve & Roma? They play in a way that everyone knows, with experienced players. We need to grow, we’re young. Their level is very high.”
