By Football Italia staff

Marco Benassi hailed Fiorentina after they pulled off a “crucial” 5-0 victory over Verona on Sunday.

Fiorentina demolished Verona to end their losing start to the season, and the midfielder praised his side for their “determined” approach at the Bentegodi.

“We’re very happy for both result and performance,” the midfielder said after the game.

“It was crucial to bring home the three points. The more I train, the better I am and I hope to continue like this.

“Morale? We went to Verona very determined, it wasn’t good to still be on no points. We wanted to win and did so with a great performance.

“My role? The Coach helps me every day, the results can be seen. Fans’ applause? They were extraordinary.

“After our defeat to Samp, they applauded us and stayed by our side. The new faces? The more time that passes, the more that things will improve.

“Thereau doesn’t need any introduction. He’s a great player who’s made himself available immediately.

“Now we’re heading to Bologna, we have to work well in the week to bring home another result.

“Against Juventus and Sampdoria, our approach wasn’t the best, but things changed against Verona.”
