Kean: ‘Return to Italy with a new mentality’
Moise Kean insists he has come back to the Italy squad with ‘new objectives and a new mentality’ after bagging a brace in the 5-0 win over Lithuania.
The Juventus striker scored twice in the World Cup qualifier, along with Giacomo Raspadori, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and an own goal.
“It was important to get back in this shirt and give 100 per cent for the jersey, as it means so much to me every time,” Kean told RAI Sport.
“It was not easy to be at home watching the Euros, but I was always in front of the television cheering on my teammates. They brought home the trophy for Italy and that’s what matters.
“It’s all about hard work, how professionally I approach it. My teammates gave me a warm welcome, I am working every day and returned with new objectives, a new mentality, and I’m always ready to help my teammates.”
Kean was asked how the loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain and return to Juventus from Everton had helped him to develop,
“It helped me so much, as I was working alongside great players and learning all the time. There’s a lot of work to be done now in Turin and I will give 100 per cent in every training session.”
Moise Kean was finally asked how to pronounce his name.
“Whatever you prefer,” was his answer.
