Nocerino surprised with the hat-trick against Parma and targets top spot by November: Serie A news
A.C Milan midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Nocerino-c6332, is surprised with the hat-trick against Parma and is looking forward to become a first-team regular.
Nocerino scored three goals in his team’s 4-1 route against Parma at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Wednesday, October 26, 2011. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724 scored
Parma’s only goal of the match.
Nocerino, who was signed in the summer from Palermo, is not known for his goal-scoring abilities and he even himself is surprised with the goals. The 26-year-old admitted that he only scored 4 goals in the whole campaign last season
and getting three in one game is surprising.
While talking to the reporters, Nocerino said, “To be honest, I still don’t really know what has happened. I’d previously only scored three goals across an entire campaign…”
The former Juventus star took his league tally to four after the hat-trick and became the club’s highest goal-scorer in the Serie A thus far. However, the Naples born midfielder is not over excited with the stats and believes that
the strikers will overtake him in the list very soon.
The midfielder has targeted the top spot in the league and is hoping to achieve that before the international break next month.
“It’s not even worth talking about that statistic. Our forward players will get a lot of goals that will take us to the top of the table. That is our objective, one that we can hopefully achieve before the international break in
November.” added the former Juventus star
The 26-year-old is proving to be a bargain buy since his arrival at the San Siro. Milan paid Palermo only 500,000 Euros for the midfielder’s services and he has already made a huge impact at the club.
After a poor start to the season, Milan have won their last three games in a row and they now sit only two points behind league leaders, Juventus. Milan are placed 5th in the league table after picking 14 points from
8 matches played so far. The Italian Champions will face A.S http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 in their next league game on Saturday, October 29, 2011.
