Stefano Okaka spoke to Udinese TV after scoring the side's only goal in Tuesday's defeat to Napoli.
 
"It's never nice to concede five goals. We're top-level professionals and we always try to win or at least play well. This game was very important for them and we came here looking to do well but it didn't work out. Now we have the last few matches and we can still finish in the top half if we do well on Sunday.
 
“We mustn't let our heads drop. As long as there's hope we have to keep pushing. If anyone wants to give up, then they're in the wrong job. My mind's on the next game and we'll all give everything we've got, as we always do.
 
“Sixteen years ago I scored my first senior goal in this stadium and I managed to score again today, a great goal.
 
“I want to dedicate this goal to my mum, who has been encouraging me a lot recently. I've had lots of problems this year but I've always held my head high and I'm happy to have scored today.”
