Matri happy to score twice on Fiorentina debut

Alessandro Matri was delighted with his brace on debut in Fiorentina's win at Catania.

The striker joined the Viola from AC Milan last week.

Matri said: "Over six months I struggled to settle into Milan's tactics and there were various problems at the club. I am 29 years old and still a bit young to be on the bench.

"Why did I choose Fiorentina? They had the Number 32 free! There were other options, but this team plays in a very attacking way and there are many fascinating elements here."
