00:00 We won a very dirty match.
00:02 Very dirty because it was a very physical team,
00:07 behind the ball, who started off very well.
00:10 We were in control of the ball,
00:14 it was difficult for me to find the ball.
00:16 Against a very aggressive team on a really bad pitch,
00:21 it wasn't easy for the lads.
00:23 It was the fifth match in three days,
00:25 where we faced two games from inside and outside,
00:28 so we had to spend a lot of energy.
00:30 But I have to say that this is the team's victory.
00:33 The changes were decisive,
00:35 because they came in with a great mentality,
00:38 they brought freshness and quality.
00:41 The team's heart came out,
00:44 which kept us going to get these three points.
00:47 I want to congratulate the lads,
00:51 because it wasn't easy, even after two defeats in the league.
00:54 We overcame the Coppa Italia round,
00:56 we're in the top of the table against all the teams,
00:59 in the middle of the play-off.
01:01 We've achieved the goal of being in the Coppa Italia,
01:05 of being in the Youth League.
01:07 I'm proud of my lads,
01:09 the effort is evident.
01:11 It's not easy, we have to keep going for two weeks.
01:15 We have a few injured players to recover,
01:19 a few players have been in the first team,
01:23 and it's a source of pride for us.
01:26 From a certain point of view,
01:29 it's as if we'd already won.
01:32 Seeing so many lads in the first team is a source of pride for us.
01:36 Obviously, finding some balance in the team
01:39 isn't easy, it's a bit of a pay-off.
01:42 But if you give the lads time,
01:44 who initially played less,
01:46 to find that rhythm, to grow,
01:49 they're really happy.
01:51 We know it's going to be tough,
01:54 but if we have that spirit,
01:56 and a bit of emotion,
01:58 we'll live it.
02:00 Their unity, their mentality,
02:02 the way they work every week,
02:04 their ambition.
02:06 It's a really healthy group, with important values.
02:09 I'm happy to have won like this,
02:11 because it was a really dirty game.
02:14 There were 20-25 minutes until the second half,
02:17 the teams didn't have any more.
02:19 But we stayed up,
02:21 even though it was the fifth game.
02:24 They paid for the last 20 minutes,
02:27 but our impact, our desire not to give up,
02:31 was decisive to win the game.
02:34 This is not a sign for a coach,
02:37 it's too important.
02:39 It makes us reflect,
02:42 but now we're only looking at the positive side.
02:45 There's also a negative side,
02:47 not conceding a goal like that,
02:49 it's too easy.
02:51 We can't get further,
02:53 we can't lose distance.
02:55 We have to become even more dirty,
02:57 even more mean in certain situations.
02:59 Today was a second-ball game,
03:01 a battle,
03:04 but in the long run we came out victorious,
03:07 and that's a reason for pride.
03:09 We're a united group,
03:11 we're all together,
03:13 we try to work for a common goal.
03:16 Even in these dirty games,
03:18 we wanted to send a message,
03:20 to try to be compact,
03:22 even when we need to play badly,
03:25 to try to get the three points,
03:27 maybe in this game, a bit more dirty.
03:30 We wanted to send a message to the whole league,
03:33 and I think we did.
03:35 I give everything for my teammates,
03:37 I'm a guy who tries to give everything for my team,
03:40 who works.
03:42 When there's a need, I'm always there.
03:45 When my teammates need me,
03:48 I'm always ready to help them.
