El Aynaoui speaks after Midtjylland victory


Neil El Aynaoui got his first-ever goal for Roma against Midtjylland.

Here's what the Moroccan had to say after the match.


What are your thoughts on the victory?

"It was a tough one. There were points of the game which weren’t so positive for us. Fortunately, we scored quite early on in the match. That gave us a bit more composure. Then we suffered a bit of a slump, so I think we'll have to correct that for next time."

You're playing very well and you’ve now opened your account for the club. Tell us how that feels.

"It’s a dream come true. I was waiting to get this goal, especially at home, in front of the fans. It was incredible - even more amazing than I imagined, but getting the three points is the most important thing."

How are Roma approaching the match against Napoli?

"We'll prepare as best we can. We also prepared well for this Europa League match. Now we'll have a few days to focus on Napoli on Sunday. As always, we'll give it our all and we'll do our best."
