“Tomorrow will be a great celebration for the whole women's football movement and the excellent response from the fans is confirmation that the choice to play this final in Como was absolutely correct. It will be a great match. I believe that in team sport, cohesion is fundamental and goes beyond any other aspect. We will certainly try to be better than them and I believe that through unity of purpose we can make the difference. The last game we won against Roma, at the ‘Tre Fontane’, we played perfectly. I hope the team can repeat such a high-level performance. Roma are a great team, they have an excellent system of play, they are coached very well by [Alessandro] Spugna and they have extremely important key players. What's more, let's not forget that they are the holders of the Coppa Italia, so they are the favourites in this match.
"Our group is made up of exceptional girls, who understand the importance of moments. We have prepared for the match on a technical and tactical level, but on a mental level there was no need to explain the importance of the stakes. Our goals at the beginning of the season were stated as: we wanted to qualify for the group stage of the Women's Champions League and we succeeded, we wanted to secure a place in next year's UWCL and we wanted to go as far as possible in the Coppa Italia. I would say we went far beyond expectations, so we are very happy. Ours is a beautiful group, a group of wonderful girls who have been on an extraordinary journey. Certainly this journey together has provoked strong feelings, for different reasons. For me it was my first experience at this level of the women’s game. For Martina, who is by my side today, this journey was important because it allowed her to return to playing regularly after a long absence due to injury. Each girl has handled this journey in the best possible way and, together, we have written a beautiful page in the history of our club.”
