Leicester City midfielder Cesare Casadei says “he wants to do more” for the Foxes while on loan from Chelsea.
The Italian scored on his debut for the club in August, and revisited the moment two months on when speaking to Leicester’s website.
“I was really excited that was my debut and I couldn’t ask for more from that,” Casadei said. “To score on my debut in the last five minutes and win the game, it doesn’t happen every day, so I’m really happy for that.
“When I scored, I didn’t think anything, I just wanted to express my passion. I ran in front of the fans to celebrate with them, because they were amazing. The stands were full and I wanted to enjoy that moment as much as possible.
“This is just the start. I want to do more for this club. I always try to look forward for the next games, stay focused, and I just want to keep going now.”
The 20 year-old spoke on the importance of Leicester manager and fellow Italian Enzo Maresca as he settles into life at the club.
Casadei addedL: “He [Maresca] is helping me a lot, I’m getting used to the way the team play. When you join a new team, there is a different way to play and I’m learning from him. I’m really happy to have him as my manager.
“We can build very good relationships between us. There are a few Italians in the staff and when I don’t understand something, I can ask and be more comfortable because we speak the same language. It makes everything easier.”
Casadei also spoke highly of his parent club Cheslea, where he is yet to make a senior appearance.
“Chelsea is a massive club, it’s a big one,” the Italian added. “I thought that moment could arrive just once in my life. When Chelsea came to me, I didn’t think at all to be honest because I just wanted to join them. I know how big Chelsea is and for my development I thought that was the best choice for me.
“When I had just arrived, I had to get used to England and the football here because it’s different. I played with the under-21s and that helped me a lot in terms of football.”
