Fernando Llorente was clearly delighted after Juventus’ 2-0 win over Palermo on Sunday and more specifically his role in the performance.
The Spanish International was beaming after scoring his first goal of the season against the Rosanero at the Juventus Stadium.
“I always had the confidence of all the coaches, I have also been suffering with back pain,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
“I was not worried, because I have always helped the team while we were winning and I was happy. Of course, it is important to score and the fact that I did today has given me great joy.
“It’s definitely good for the coach [that Alvaro Morata is here], he can choose from many players. I think so far I’m doing a great job for the team but I did not score in the last games because my back pain was not good. Physically I’m fine now.
“[Roma] are very strong, stronger than last year, we have to give our best in every match.”
“We did not start well [in the Champions League] but there are two big games against Olympiacos and Malmo. If we win both games we can qualify for the next round.”
