00:00 It's a great satisfaction, also for how we got here and for the effort we put in.
00:07 At a certain point in the race it wasn't easy to get back on track, to get back on track with enthusiasm and attitude
00:14 and change the inertia of a race that was on the rise at that moment. It wasn't easy, so we're very happy.
00:20 The race started as we had prepared it, with great intensity, a bit like the semi-final with Rome.
00:27 Then, when we lost some engine revs, the aggressiveness and intensity of the opponent came in,
00:33 to whom I have to give compliments, because he put us in extreme difficulty.
00:37 And he certainly had some solutions that made us sweat seven shirts.
00:42 Then it was incredible what the girls were able to do to turn an emotional situation upside down,
00:48 that from 1-1, you make a mistake in the penalty, you're in the extra time, they're in the comeback, to be able to find the energy to go back on track, was a great achievement.
00:59 It was a path in which we took advantage of the obstacles we found to work, to find enthusiasm, motivation, to overcome challenges.
01:10 And these obstacles came, fortunately, not immediately, as far as I'm concerned, because I'm, for example,
01:18 the first one was the one with Sassuolo in the first leg, where we lost on the way.
01:23 After that, from there, the girls were good to have confidence and to continue working, there was the basis of what could happen.
01:31 If there's a moment that, in my opinion, we understood we could do something big, it was on the road,
01:35 because you've created an atmosphere that gives you the energy to get out of these extra times.
01:41 The heart, absolutely, because at that moment, of course, you can give technical indications.
01:47 The staff's work was incredible, so we also physically had the engine to manage those moments.
01:53 But then, if you don't throw your heart over the obstacle, if you don't believe in it until the end, you won't get there.
01:58 I thank, if I have to dedicate it to someone, I dedicate this day to my players, to my players today, to my players and players yesterday.
02:07 The thanks, at this moment, obviously, are for the company that trusted and bet on this path,
02:16 obviously the director, it was great to receive the phone call just now from our CEO,
02:22 and then, obviously, the staff that worked a lot since July 28th so that this was possible, and our girls.
02:28 It's an incredible mix of emotions.
02:31 Satisfied, excited, dead tired, never played 120 minutes, first time, absurd, absurd.
02:41 We never gave up, every minute, even when we conceded, we kept pushing, pushing, pushing.
02:47 We are aware of our strength and I think we have shown it.
02:50 We are united, on the pitch we count on each other, and if one of us makes a mistake, the other is ready to fix it.
02:57 We are a great group.
02:59 I dedicate it to the captain, Nadi, and to Paola, we have known each other since we were kids,
03:04 and none of us would have ever thought of getting here.
03:07 It's hard to give a name to how I feel.
03:10 I feel too strong because I have this group behind me that supported me from the first moment,
03:19 they never stopped believing in me, and it's thanks to this group that I grew up and today I can lift this trophy.
03:26 This victory tells me that I can achieve anything,
03:30 and this year I have learned that the approach to things, the approach to life, is everything,
03:35 and you have to find the right people to do it, and I have found them.
03:38 I think that finding the energy, thinking about how much we love each other,
03:44 is the key to any victory in the team.

03:50 We love you, Carol! We love you, Carol!
