Philip Yeboah made his first appearance in Serie A for Hellas Verona's in last Saturday's encounter against Fiorentina.

Yeboah shared his excitement after playing his first Serie A match for Hellas Verona.

"I'm very excited for my debut. For the first time, I finally made the bench of the first team. I was really anxious."

After making it to the bench, Yeboah was hopeful despite no sign of a possible debut from Hellas manager Ivan Juric

"I didn't expect the coach to let me play the game... but I hoped until the end."

The teenage old forward was introduced in the 78th minute for midfielder Matia Zacchi with the score at 1-1 as Verona searched for the winner.

"I think I did a good performance, I believe I can always do better."

In the end, coach Juric was impressed with his desire and aggression in the opponent's area.

"The coach told me that for being the first time on the football field, I made a good performance. Going forward, I expect to always give my best!"
