He told Radio Serie A: "You haven't seen much of my attacking moves this season because we're more tactically focused and perhaps more restrained.
"But it's a way to improve as a team; we play good football.
"My goal is to continually improve compared to last season. I don't want to give a specific number of assists, but obviously I'd like to get more than last season (nine).
"I want to continue improving this season. I need to be more concrete and consistent. I hope we can achieve our goals and that the fans are happy with us."
