Di Natale: “A huge satisfaction”

Zapata: “The most beautiful day in (“of”?) my career”

99 goals in Serie A, one goal down from the fatidic (fatidic? The word doesn’t even exist in English!) 100, though Totò Di Natale’s only concern is still his Udinese, author (a literal translation of the word “autore”!) of a terrific performance against Inter. “We’ve been perfect – said Udinese’s captain – and it’s a huge satisfaction for each one of us winning against Italy’s and (the) World’s champions (how about: “winning against the Italian and world champions”). We have to stay down to earth (??) and remember that our main goal are (“is”?) 40 points. My 100 goals in (the) championship? You know I care, but they’re nothing compared to the team’s good” (?).

Moreover, it has been the first goal in (the) championship for Cristian Zapata, who, thanks to his left-foot (left-footed) kick, has scored (“had scored”?) shortly after Inter’s lead: “I’ve made a good goal (“scored a good goal”) and we’ve won – explained “El Mago”, smiling – what else can I ask for? I would like to dedicate this goal to my girlfriend, who’s in Columbia, whose (whom) I miss a lot. So far, I had always said (“I’ve always said”?) that the most beautiful moment of my career in Udine was the match with Milan, some years ago. Well, now, that moment has changed: it is today’s match, rightfully (“it is rightfully today’s match”?). We have to go on like this, on the path we’ve drawn, until the championship’s over, so that we can gain more than an easy safe salvation” (salvation? As in religious terms?).
