Nigeria's Super Eagles defender William Troost Ekong has expressed his excitement after Udinese defeated league leader Juventus, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Udinese surprisingly rallied back from a goal down to beat Juventus 2-1 to extend Juve wait for title celebration. Juventus are one win away from lifting the 2019/20 Serie A title.

Ekong who played a key role was happy said it was one of the reason he moved to Italy.

"I am very happy because these are 3 very heavy points and because I believe that nobody would have bet on us before the game.

They came here to celebrate and this charged us before the game, today we played with personality and we deserved to win.

I better as a central? Yes, I played in the middle for two years but after the lockdown the coach wanted to move me to the right. Obviously he decides how we get on the field but I think that from the central defense I can be more useful to the team.

Disqualification? In my opinion it was not a foul so heavy as to be a warning but I have faith in the team and I know they can do it even without me.

On the other hand, I hope I can help them in the match against Lecce ", he said.
