Fiorentina attacker Nico Gonzalez proud of brace in ECL playoff win

Fiorentina attacker Nico Gonzalez was full of pride after helping them reach the Europa Conference League group draw.

Nico's two goals against Rapid Vienna saw them win their playoff tie 2-1 on aggregate.

He said: "With the number 10 I feel good, I scored two goals and I'm happy to be here with this team. We played 180 perfect minutes, we deserved this victory. I'm the leader? I don't know, I just know that on the pitch I'm happy and doing my job.

"I have to continue like this.

"We also played a great game against Lecce with an extraordinary first half, we must continue like this. Last year we played two finals, it wasn't easy. We have done a perfect job, the management has hired many strong players and every training session we have to do the best for the team and for the whole group."
