This was a show of our character after the loss to Milan. We needed a game like this. Physically we gave everything. We are very satisfied.

When you haven't (scored) for three or four games, it starts to weigh on you, ... It is not a case of doubting but more just wanting to do better. He is used to more space in England. Here he is finding it more difficult.

We lost our last two games in Turin against Inter, in the league last season and in the Italian Super Cup this summer, that's why the game on Sunday is so important to us. I think Inter are our main rivals for the Scudetto.

Saturday's match against Palermo will be very tricky; they caused us some trouble last year both in the home match, when we earned a draw, and away, when they beat us and we're now eager to take our revenge, so that we can start the new year on the right foot and save the eight point advantage in the standings.

It is exceptional, I grew up watching Papin, an idol of the French public, ... It means a lot to have the same number of goals as players like him and Fontaine. It shows I have been consistent.

It's 100 goals. I'm very proud of myself and my team-mates. It's part of the history of this club and it's something exceptional.

The tournament is tougher than we expected.

Im happy with my two goals at Empoli because they took me closer to my target.
