“Well, in a situation like this, it is very important for him to remain focus and not be distracted by the fact that he has not been scoring goals for the club.
“For sure, I know this phase will soon pass him by and he will rediscover his goal scoring boot for the club. I understand how he feels but I know the goals will come soon for him.”

He must sit on the bench for a bit let Giovanni Simeone and Raspadori Show him that his place is not Set in stone unless he gives 100% every game.. If that is what it took to get the best out of him last season then the same should happen this season.
