Rafael Leao, who scored the winning goal against Como last night, has spoken to SportMediaset. Here are his words:
"It was a difficult match against an opponent with good characteristics. The coach is good, they play well. I also want to send strength to them because they deserve a better position in the standings. The coach prepared us well for the game."

He added:
"The pitch was small, we knew that could be a difficulty we might face against them, as they played well. We had to press them well because they like to play, but in the end, it was the grit, the will, and what we always have: this new coach, Conceiçao, has brought that to us. Today we played well, but sometimes when you don't play well but give everything until the end, the result comes. I think we deserved it, also because of what we did in the first half, as we created two goal-scoring chances. We lacked that sharpness, but in the end, we managed to score, and we're happy, and this win helps us climb the standings."
How important is it for you to return to scoring? Leao said:
"I always try to score, assist, and help my team. It's clear that when you score, your confidence is high. I think for the upcoming matches, especially the next one which is important for us against a tough opponent (Juventus), it will give us confidence, but not just individually. This win has given everyone good confidence for the Juventus match, and we aim to win."
Is this your best moment of the season?
"Well, I think so. I always try to be at my best, not only individually, not just with goals and assists, but also by playing a good match, finding spaces for others, and then it becomes easier to score goals and assist because I am involved in the game, and then the team helps me put my qualities to their advantage, so I can help them."
Was Theo Hernandez' goal intended or lucky?
"Intended, intended (laughs) of course."
Why have all three wins (under Sergio Conceicao) come in the second half? Leao said:
"Good question. Sometimes that's how it is. First half, stronger; second half, a bit... it depends. The most important thing is that we didn't give up, and we're happy to leave here with 3 points.
