Dzeko: The 3-0 win in the European away game gave us confidence, I hope to score more goals

October 24th: In the UEFA Europa League match early this morning, Fiorentina defeated Rapid Vienna 3-0 away from home. After the game, Florence striker veteran Dzeko was interviewed.

What is your evaluation of this victory?

Victory is always gratifying, especially winning away from home in Europe is even more difficult. I don’t know if it was our best game, but a win always brings positives. We performed very well today and this 3-0 win gives us confidence for the next games. The second goal I scored was important because recently in Serie A we couldn't keep it until the end even if we were ahead. Therefore, when we were leading 1-0, the opponent still had the possibility of equalizing, but after scoring the second goal, we felt more reassured.

What do you think of your goal?

The feeling of scoring goals is always wonderful, especially scoring goals in European games. I hope I can get stronger and stronger in the future and score more goals. Movement in the box is my job and I've scored a lot of goals like that. Thanks to Fortini for that wonderful cross, he was also responsible for this goal.

Do you support the continued use of the two-forward tactic?

When we have two players up front, it’s important for both sides because then you have a teammate around you to work with. And it is also very important for the whole team. When encountering difficulties, you always have two forwards as contact points. You can pass the ball long or pass the ball. Of course, this is a tactical choice, but it is the decision of the coach, who will certainly do his best to prepare for the next game, just like today.

Team interests and individual performance

It doesn’t matter who plays and who doesn’t, the most important thing is that the team performs well and wins. Maybe competition will also give us some pressure, right? Just kidding, obviously we're not going to talk too much about it.

Fiorentina has not performed well in Serie A this season

Our performance in Serie A recently has not been good, and the players will not be satisfied, but they must continue to support us, and only unity can make everything easier. It will not be easy because we are yet to win in Serie A this season.

In the next round you will face Bologna at home

Bologna is a very good team with an excellent coach. Each of us has to put in more effort, what we have done so far is not enough, we need to help each other more on the pitch in order to win games. We need to win in the league because we are already behind and there is a lot of pressure after seven games without a win. The next league game is at our home court and hopefully we can get 3 points.
