"It was a great victory, especially because we played against a team that is fighting for the same goal as us.
From the first to the last minute we played an excellent game, we were positioned in the right way and we interpreted the various phases of the game well. Now we have a day to enjoy this victory and the three points, but we must remain humble and with our feet on the ground and continue to work to prepare for the next challenge.
I have to congratulate the guys because after the missed penalty they didn't let themselves go, Verde first and foremost continued to give his all with great energy, he's a selfless guy, always looking out for the group, and in that moment the guys were able to spur each other on to keep fighting.
The work the forwards did on defense was fundamental today, they know how important it is. When it comes to defense everyone is included, from the forwards to the goalkeeper, and all of them today interpreted this phase of the game in the right way.
The choice of the starting striker was purely a tactical choice. Gyasi is a player who gives a lot on the pitch, I chose him because he can give more depth to the action and that was what I wanted against a team as good at pressing as Cagliari. Manaj came on at a complicated moment of the match and did a great job, apart from the goal I saw him fight on the pitch and I'm satisfied with their performance.
I'm very happy with both the win and the way it came. The guys are very united and work as a team, both those who took the field from the first minute and the substitutes did a great job, but I'm also satisfied with those who remained on the bench because they all contributed to making the atmosphere special by encouraging their teammates and making them feel their support. I don't want to talk about the individuals today, just the team and the way they stayed together today. The guys deserve it, it's a great joy for me."
