“A family victory, the one on the pitch and the one in the stands”

You have won a lot, but do you get used to emotions like these?

“It was a family victory. Not only of the family that was on the field and on the bench, but also of the one at the stadium. This is our greatest merit. This empathy, this sense of family… We had an extraordinary race.

Maybe others can interpret it another way, but in my opinion, when your goalkeeper makes two saves in two semi-final games, against a Premier League team with such quality, it is because we have done something good.

I don’t want to say much, I just want to say that these guys are amazing and obviously they deserve this final. But on Monday we have a match, we still have three to finish the championship in the best possible way and then there will be the final.

It’s always the old story: we made a fantastic trajectory to get there, 14 Conference League matches are a lot and we paid for it with the points lost in Serie A. But now we’re going to the final and we want to win. “

Can we call tonight a fantastic football battle?

“Sure. We take risks in the way we press – we are a team that takes risks – but we don’t have the capacity to do it for ninety minutes. It is mainly impossible against a team that has the ball, which makes the players turn. After that, we lowered the block and also transformed the 5-3-1-1, with the five-line controlling very well, with an incredible effort from the players in midfield.

Without Miki, it was not easy to have the ball, because the characteristics of the players are different. A lot of work from Zaniolo, from Tammy … Family, that’s how I can define this story of getting to the final “

How did Abraham help the team? Is it a bit of a symbol of the availability of its players?

“Tammy knows, I refuse to speak highly of him. She can do better and he knows it. He is a great player with the potential to be even better. And I find it a bit difficult to accept those who can do even better ”.

I was talking about availability.

“Availability must have it in every match, not only when we play against Lazio or in a great match of a European competition. I want more from Tammy. But, I agree with you: he and everyone else, even those on the bench, the energy, the suffering, the support, the empathy, the family … For me, it’s a family.

And if you give me the chance, a club like it is in my heart and a coach who is my friend: great Real, great Carletto, now we will win the final “.
