The Uruguay international started his first match in Giallorossi colours and immediately looked at home – earning a positive reception for a solid all-round display when he went off just after the hour-mark.
“There was a little bit of tension there, as with any debut, but I’m happy with the win and for the performance we put in,” Vina said afterwards.
“Physically I’m getting up to speed – I was training alone for three weeks because of the quarantine, so I missed a little bit the intensity of training with teammates and working on all the various movements.
“But slowly we are building up the intensity now. I felt good in my hour out there.”
Vina showed glimpses of his ability in both attack and defence, with one backheel in the opposition penalty box nearly becoming an impressive assist.
“Italian football is very combative – it’s probably the most similar to South American football among the various European leagues,” Vina noted.
“Clearly it’s very tactical too. With more game time I will understand everything better. It’s a pleasure to have the fans back; other than the Libertadores final I’ve been playing without them as well so it was definitely great to see them all here.”
