Giuseppe Rossi dedicates goal to Sir Alex Ferguson

Giuseppe Rossi scored his first Serie A goal in four years, giving Genoa the lead against Fiorentina earlier today. After the game, Rossi spoke to reporters about his goal, dedicating it to an old friend. 
 
"I would like to dedicate this goal to Sir Alex Ferguson. When I read the news of what happened to him I was very sorry," Rossi began. 
 
"I'm experiencing a mix of emotions, it is my first goal in a very long time. I played for 60-65 minutes today, which hasn't happened to me for a while, plus I scored against my former team. I have a lot of respect for Florence and for Fiorentina. 
 
"Now I feel good but I'm tired. It was important to play, to prove that I'm fine and that I can be the Pepito of the past. The goal, in the end, is a bonus, a strong emotion," Rossi concluded.
