“After the game, I couldn’t even speak! It was without a doubt the most important goal of my career.
“Things are going very well at Anderlecht, I settled in and am happy with this new adventure.
“The best I ever played alongside were Francesco Totti and Antonio Cassano. When I was young, my idol was Ronaldo, Il Fenomeno.”
