Roma attacker Dybala happy with brace in victory against Cagliari

Roma attacker Paulo Dybala was pleased with his double in victory over Cagliari on Monday night.

The Giallorossi won 4-0 via goals from Dybala (2), Lorenzo Pellegrini and Dean Huijsen.

The Argentine later said: “We are happy, I think we played the game we wanted to, pressed hard, understood the moments of the match.

“It was our third straight win, but the first we managed feeling pretty calm, as we had suffered a little in the other two. Now we have a big game coming up.

“Many things have changed, Mourinho and De Rossi are different. We also looked inside ourselves after what happened.

“De Rossi knows this city and club more than anyone. He brought a lot of enthusiasm, made us understand many things and we pulled out something that we had within us and weren't calling on before.

“I feel that these long weeks of training without games in the middle really helped us to understand De Rossi's ideas."
