00:00 I think a bit of emotion is normal.
00:03 I don't think we've put what we've done to rest.
00:09 There's still the adrenaline, the focus, the desire to never give up and prepare for the next one.
00:18 It's a historic achievement.
00:21 In a few years they'll remember this group.
00:24 I'm really proud of them.
00:28 We're back here and I told the lads that playing in the final is incredible.
00:33 It's a difficult journey.
00:38 The games are always close, so every detail makes the difference.
00:43 We had a good first half, then we slowed down a bit and made a mistake.
00:49 The quality is high.
00:51 In the second half we played a balanced game and we took the ball into play.
00:55 We worked hard on the corner kick because they're really good at taking it.
00:59 I don't think any other team would have recovered from that.
01:03 It's the desire, the heart and the enthusiasm of the lads that brought it home.
01:08 We could have taken the third down the line but we didn't lose our heads.
01:13 We tried to create chances with a bit of clarity.
01:17 The changes made the difference and we got into the big game.
01:21 As I said, the group brought us to the final.
01:25 We're enjoying it now and we'll focus on the next game tomorrow.
01:29 Barteseghe and Zeroli didn't work with us this week.
01:32 They didn't prepare for the game.
01:34 It's not easy for them.
01:36 They arrived at the hotel around 11am.
01:38 They went to bed late and had to go somewhere.
01:41 They wanted to be there.
01:43 They were unbeatable.
01:45 Kevin, apart from the mistakes, played a great game.
01:50 So did Davide.
01:51 I'm proud of them.
01:53 They wanted to be there.
01:55 99% of them will be with us for the final.
01:57 It's not easy not to prepare and show them what they can do.
02:01 They did their best and I'm delighted.
02:05 I told the lads before the game that I think the stars were aligned.
02:09 We'll go to the final.
02:11 It's a bit of a stretch but we're at the Cardio Palma.
02:15 I remember the 19-4 win in the '89 Milan semi-final.
02:19 We were 5-0 up and I told them that maybe it's good for us.
02:22 It's a sign of fate.
02:24 We're enjoying it.
02:26 We'll prepare for the next game, which will be another tough game.
02:30 But how will it be for them?
02:32 I'm delighted.
02:34 We've reached a good finish but we're taking a step at a time.
02:37 It's an indescribable feeling.
02:39 I can't describe what I felt both when I scored and when I won.
02:44 You can only feel that on the pitch.
02:46 I'm definitely improving a lot, both with my team-mates and with older players.
02:50 Last year we were fighting for our safety.
02:53 This year we're in the play-off and we've reached the final of the Youth League.
02:56 We've set all our objectives.
02:59 I'm delighted but we still have to take a step at a time and enjoy this final.
03:04 The fact that we're the only Italian team
03:08 means that we're always keeping our heads up and going out on the pitch with a different mentality.
03:14 You can only experience that on the pitch.
03:17 It's indescribable.
03:19 It's a dream that's coming true.
03:21 I don't know how to become a reality.
03:22 [BOOM]
