The teenage old forward was introduced in the 78th minute for midfielder Matia Zacchi with the score at 1-1 as Verona searched for the winner.
"I think I did a good performance, I believe I can always do better."
In the end, coach Juric was impressed with his desire and aggression in the opponents area.
"The coach told me that for being the first time on the football field, I made a good performance. Going forward, I expect to always give my best!"
