What did you make of the performance?

Brilliant. Delighted for the result. A great job from the lads and a great result at home.

Is that one of the best attacking displays you have seen since being at the club?

I think it was a great game, especially from everybody. Everybody was ready to show the quality and just get the chance when we get the opportunity. I think everybody did a great job. It was a great game.

You got your first goal as well…

It was great. I don’t have the words. I have got so much emotion about that. Hopefully many more to come.

Is that the moment you have been dreaming of?

Since my rehab, I was always trying to rush things, trying to speak to the manager saying that I feel good, I feel ready. He knows when it is time and how to protect the players, especially like myself. I always wanted to rush things. It has been a really long rehab, really difficult for me in some periods.

When you look back, it was worth the wait and today was the best time to have the chance of scoring. The last game I had some opportunities. I trained really hard all week to prepare myself for every minute, every chance I get, to score.

How special did it feel?

I don’t have words to describe how special it was. Like I was saying, all the rehab, all the process, I thank all the staff and the physios for all the hard work they have been doing with me by the time to prepare myself for this moment. I have prepared myself in mind head ‘are you ready? Are you ready?’ From that moment I had in my head that every minute I would show that I am back fit.

Do you feel ready to face Celtic?

Honestly I feel ready every day. We are right now looking forward already for the next one and we will prepare ourselves in training, have a good week, and prepare everybody.

Are you helping to raise Cyriel’s levels?

I think for what he was showing already last season shows his quality. He has been doing great, also in training, so I am really grateful for him for what he showed me right now. He is a good striker. He knows his position and where to have his moments to score a goal.

I think right now he is showing his quality and I am really happy for him. You always try to push for better and it is the same for me as well. He is always helping me perform. I need to work hard for myself to get the opportunity. I think it is great when you have those moments and those opportunities for two strikers to work together. We are always working hard.

Have you come back a better player?

There is a lot of work, I am still on the way to become the best version of myself. I am working really hard every day, working two sessions every day to prepare myself physically and mentally. Right now when I have my minutes I want to be happy and enjoy those moments that I missed for a long period. I don’t put too much pressure on me to be the best version of myself. I work every day to be the best version. It will come. I will be patient. In the right time it will be there.
