Sadiq: We mustn't give up now

The 18-year-old striker, who opened the scoring against Chievo with his second Serie A goal in as many games, says fortune wasn't kind to the Giallorossi but there's no point dwelling on it because the season is long and the next game is just around the corner.

“We were unlucky but it's not the end of the journey,” Sadiq said after the match. “We have to keep going now and never give up. We must keep working every day and look at the next game.”

Should Dzeko be worried about his place with you up front now?

“Dzeko is doing his own job. It's important for a striker to score but I shouldn't be looking at my goals or my games right now; I just need to keep working hard. I hope Edin will come back 100%.”

You had that chance to score a second...

“Even though I only ended up with one goal, you must always take the positives. I'm sorry we got one point and not three but it's not important for me to reflect on the chances I missed. I'm very young and I just have to keep moving forward.”
