Llorente: 'Form not a coincidence'

Juventus hitman Fernando Llorente explains his form is “no coincidence, but came from hard work.”

The Spaniard took a long time to make an impact in Turin, but has now been scoring regularly and netted in today’s 3-0 win over Napoli.

“I always try to help the team with my movements,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

“My improvement is no coincidence, but came from hard work. I get on very well with Carlos Tevez and I am happy to be at the club.

“Roma drew earlier and we knew that we had a great opportunity to close on them. A win, especially against Napoli, was very important, even if there’s a long road yet to the Scudetto.”

Juve are now in second place, one point adrift of the leaders.
