00:00 I think that Europe is part of this club's DNA.
00:04 I'm very happy for the lads, for their application, their desire and their spirit.
00:12 I don't put much of my own, because they have quality and talent.
00:18 But I always say that this is a team sport,
00:22 where you play 11 against 11.
00:24 The pitch is so big that if you don't put in spirit, desire and unity,
00:29 it's hard.
00:31 The lads did it today, against a very strong team.
00:36 But I think we did it in the first half, with great quality and personality.
00:42 In the first 20 minutes of the second half, we were very balanced.
00:46 We had the ball to score and then we suffered in the last 10 minutes.
00:50 I'm happy with the changes that came in with the game and the mentality.
00:55 This is what this group's photo represents.
01:01 We need great humility.
01:03 We'll enjoy it tonight.
01:05 We'll cheer for the big guys.
01:07 Tomorrow morning we'll go to the box,
01:10 because we have another very difficult game against Atalanta.
01:14 We wanted to start strong, trying not to let them play.
01:17 We were strong on the two central defenders, we did it very well.
01:21 Both Diego and Kevin, when they broke forward.
01:24 I wouldn't be correct to name the whole team.
01:28 There was a unity, courage and a spirit, no matter what.
01:34 Especially those who came on.
01:36 In Florence, I didn't like the changes 100% because of the attitude.
01:42 Today they came on with mentality.
01:45 In the first half, it's up to everyone to play from the first minute.
01:49 We put in a 2.7-man, Sal in such an important competition.
01:54 Camarda, who's playing continuously.
01:56 We'll all be on the pitch slowly.
01:59 The important thing is that those who come on feel 100% part of this group.
02:04 We're bringing the spirit of last year's Youth League back to the league.
02:11 But when you play in Youth League,
02:16 you feel it the day before, two days before.
02:19 The lads were a bit tense, not so much.
02:22 Today they were tense, but at the right point.
02:26 They came on from the first minute, wanting to play and I'm happy about that.
02:31 These games make you grow, both mentally and personally.
02:37 We're enjoying it, but as I said, we'll get used to it quickly.
02:42 We have a very tough game coming up.
02:46 We'll catch our breath for two days
02:49 and we'll start with another cycle of seven or eight games,
02:53 where they're the toughest.
02:55 We go to Rome and Paris.
02:57 We have a lot to play for, we'll grow.
02:59 But with this spirit, we'll face them one at a time with great humility.
03:03 I'm very happy with the goal,
03:05 for helping the team to this fantastic win.
03:09 The ball came, I turned and it went in.
03:14 It was a great goal, I went to the coach as usual.
03:17 It's a great performance from the team,
03:20 we stayed until the end with the right attitude.
03:24 We did what the coach asked us to do and we brought it home in a very tough ground.
03:29 Last year's experience has helped us a lot.
03:33 This year, we've been able to do performances like that
03:39 and bring home the first place in the group.
03:42 That's the coach's identity, we always put it out there.
03:47 We want to continue on this path.
03:50 Now we'll focus on the Youth League.
03:52 We'll think about Sunday, when we have a very tough game against Atalanta.
03:57 Then we'll have a break, we'll rest and think about the Youth League.
04:01 later.
