Bonucci: “A perfect first-half”

Leonardo Bonucci is back in the side and back among the goals. The defender hit the Bianconeri’s opener against Fiorentina and sought to pay tribute to those closest to him.


“I’m very happy,” stated the defender. “I’d like to dedicate this goal to my wife, to my family and to my motivator who have been very close to me in this period. I’d like to make clear that there were no politics behind my celebration in front of the fans, it was just an explosion of joy having scored an important goal.

Tonight we played a great game, a perfect first-half in particular. Obviously we’re all happy about the win, and the fact that it takes us to the top of the table. It allows us to prepare for Saturday’s game against Inter in the best possible way.”
