Christian Kabasele was one of the stars of Udinese's win over Como, helping the team keep a vital clean sheet with a battling display. Here's what he had to say after the game:
 
“It was really tough but we've shown we're a real team now, unlike last season. We've changed the atmosphere in the stadium and in the dressing room. When we're positive on the pitch we attract our own luck. They missed a penalty and Kingsley cleared the ball off the line [against Lazio], so we're making our own luck this year.
 
“I train every day so I was ready to help the team. The boss said nice things about me after pre-season. We'll see if I can keep my place in the team after the international break.
 
“The boss deserves a lot of credit. It's not easy to come here. He's made some big decisions and created a real team. We know that whoever doesn't start the game has to be ready to help the team. That's what made the difference today and last week.
 
“We're more relaxed than last year but we must keep our feet on the ground. Our objective hasn't changed: we need to get 40 points on the board as soon as possible and only then can we think about having higher aspirations.”
