Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has lauded the inspirational qualities of team captain Antonio Di Natale.
Francesco Guidolin's side has enjoyed an impressive run in the serie A this season and the 22-year-old enforcer has attributed this to the exploits of the Italian international.
"I am very pleased with our performances and results, obviously. This time, we have been able to avoid relegation earlier than planned. We are in fifth place at present and we can aim for higher goals," the 22-year-old stated on Thursday.
"There is an opportunity for us to qualify for next season's Champions League and we will try our best to achieve that. I am optimistic about our chances because we are a real team - we help one another and never give up.
He added that" "One of the main reasons we are doing so well is our captain Antonio Di Natale - he is an inspiration for the whole squad. He always motivates us before and during matches."
