CAGLIARI. Keita Baldé two goals, a post, a penalty, an assist. Good numbers for the first six matches of the Senegalese striker in rossoblu. “For the quality of the impact you have to ask the coach – he said at the press conference at Unipol Domus – but certainly by character I am someone who, if he did well, wants to do even better”. Understanding that grows with Joao Pedro. «We are quality players and this is enough to be clear – he explained – Mister Mazzarri leaves us a lot of freedom, it being understood that the movements for the team are also important. The harmony? He grows on the pitch and in training: with Lazio he gave me a beautiful ball to score, on Sunday I gave it back to him. Now it’s his turn again ».
Keita in Italy often in the top or very high part of the ranking. In Cagliari it is another story. «Never regretted my choice – he clarified – he never had doubts even when things went badly. I see every day that there are quality players: never had any second thoughts ». Physical condition almost at the top. «On Sunday I played almost the entire match – he recalled – thanks to work and training I seem to be getting better and better. I am not able to quantify my state of form, but it seems to me that we are on the right track ». He did not find it difficult to acclimate. «I think my personality helps me a lot on the pitch. Yes, it’s true, I’m electric – he admitted – But that’s how I am. And this character always helps me a lot ».
Now Fiorentina. «I think the victory against Sampdoria was very important – he underlined – but now we must go on as if nothing had happened. Let’s turn the page and just think about winning in Florence. It is not easy because our opponents will absolutely want to win too. But we must be focused, always on the piece, game by game ».
There is also the national team, Senegal. “I care very much – he said – even with that jersey I always try to do my best: we want to play all our chances for qualifying for the world championship”. (HANDLE).
