— Why did Pellegrini pass you the ball before taking the penalty?

— It was planned, we wanted to distract the goalkeeper, reduce his concentration.

— How many goals would you like to score this season?

— I hope there will be many. I hope Pellegrini will also score a lot of goals. I try to help the team as much as I can. These three points are important for us, we need to continue in the same spirit.
