Abdi: “We couldn’t ask for more”

Almen Abdi played from the kick-off for the second time this year, during Udinese’s second success with him on the ground (“pitch” or “field”?) “I didn’t expect it – the Swiss midfielder says -. I got to know I would play only minutes before the kick-off. I feel the coach believes in me. We conquered 38 points and we’re currently ranking (“ranked”?) third. We couldn’t ask for more”.

What do you think of Pinzi’s injury?
“I hope he can recover before next Saturday’s away match in Turin”.

What do you think of the “Old Lady” (Juventus, translator’s note), which you faced only one month ago? “They are a strong opponent, a really strong one. We’re facing a tough match in Turin. Conte’s squad has never lost by far in home matches, but we’ll try and debunk this myth too”.

What have you been asked by the coach?
“To help Totò and disturb Catania’s play”.

What if Guidolin asks you to do so also in Turin?
“It would be great! My direct opponent would be Andrea Pirlo, who’s one of the best”.
