00:00There is a lot of satisfaction because I think these are a group of guys who, seeing their work every day, with the professionalism they put in, the desire, the sacrifices they make, deserve to go and play a game for a trophy, to have this kind of experience, which is beautiful to face and extremely training,
00:25because when you play to win, the motivation is always different when you have to win a trophy, and for their training path it will certainly be a very important game.
00:38There is a lot of satisfaction because I think they deserved the win on the pitch, we created a lot.
00:45If I have to find a flaw, it is that we were not able to close it with the many chances we had, but at the same time this allowed us to work on ourselves in terms of mentality, in the desire not to concede a goal,
00:58not to concede a goal, not to defend dirty balls, against a team that had a great path to the Coppa Italia, beating Roma, beating Sassuolo, Italian champions of the last season.
01:13It is a team that has great physicality, which could put you in trouble both on the pitch and off the pitch, but not in the dirty balls.
01:23Instead, the guys on the pitch responded well, they played when they had to play, they defended when they had to defend, so I keep everything I saw on the pitch tight and I am really proud of each one of them.
01:36Today I can safely say that I am a coach lucky enough to coach a group of players like this.
01:43We spoke with the manager and the coach about a trophy that we want, that we wanted from the first moment and we prepared for it in training and also in the matches.
01:51We have been focused on this trophy for a long time, as in the league, but it is something that we want right from the start, so it is right to go on like this, without lowering the pace, without anything, and only think about the final.
02:05The defense was very high, that's why the coach told me to attack the spaces, to attack the depth.
02:12Sometimes when I was tired I tried to put myself in the best positions to attack continuously, despite the fatigue, but he picks me up because he knows that I can always give more and I am always grateful for this.
02:24It is a great emotion because we are the first group to go back to the final after seven years.
02:29We had pre-fixed it, we wanted to get it, we did it with an important performance, of sacrifice, especially in the second half.
02:36Mr. Guidi is always present, he prepares us very well for the matches, we are prepared, he makes us study the opponent, he makes us train a lot.
02:43He gives us a very important athletic and aerobic preparation, we run for 90 minutes and this group has great ambitions.
02:53Now we have reached this final, as we said, after seven years, but there is the league, we are there, we are in the playoffs, we want to get there, we also want to play the final phases of the league.
03:01It is really important to continue the studies, to finish high school and then maybe to be able to enter the university, this is my goal, and in the meantime to continue my football career.
03:16It is important to keep both at the same pace, obviously there are sacrifices to be made, but if you want to get there you have to do it.
