The Grigiorossi had a poor start to the season, but they are looking to pick up and push higher on the Serie A table
Super Eagles forwards David Okereke scored in Cremonese's first mid-season friendly, helping the Grigiorossi to a 6-0 victory over Serie D side Salsomaggiore.

Cremonese won a penalty in the 24th minute, and Super Eagles star Dessers made no mistake from the spot, as he finished was on hand to convert from the spot to make it three.
Compatriot Okereke was not left out, as he also scored in the 39th minute to make it 4 for Cremonese.
Second-half goals from Felix Afena-Gyan and Leonardo Sernicola sealed a comprehensive 6-0 win for Cremonese.
