I try to focus on football and the things that are happening on the pitch.

That\u2019s also why I kept pushing in the last weeks, in the gym, in training, in the minutes that you get, that\u2019s because of that,\u201d the former Cremonese striker said in quotes revealed by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thescottishsun.co.uk\/sport\/14237257\/cyriel-dessers-rangers-future-transfer-battle-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Scottish Sun<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148274\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148274\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/images-2-15.jpeg\" alt width=\"739\" height=\"415\"  ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148274\">Cyriel Dessers celebrating his late strike against Manchester United.

That\u2019s quite hard to take, but on the other hand, I\u2019ve had a lot of positive interaction as well with fans around the stadium in the city and I try to take that to heart, and when I get out there, I just want to fight with my teammates who I see every day, who respect me, who know the effort I put in in the training ground and then to win like this.
