Pippo Inzaghi post match press conference : I am very happy but the credit goes to my players. I had said to wait before forming opinions, but I was very calm. We achieved something extraordinary, perhaps in the final 20 minutes we should have managed possession in a different manner, but onward like this. With humility. To see the President proud of us is a source of great satisfaction. The President kept his word and brought us Torres. We are really confident and he is in good physical shape. Then we will see who else arrives in the transfer market. I have to get the best out of the players the club gives me. We improved as the game went on and the attitude of the three forwards was very positive. We have to be more organised than the others and run more than the others. With this spirit, the fans will come back and support us. In terms of controlling the situation, we were fantastic for 60 minutes, but this side needs confidence. Lazio’s goal discouraged us, but I liked the care-free attitude of the side. I saw the right spirit from the sidelines. Abbiati made a motivational speech today and it was wonderful. The President also told me it was a great match and the players were brilliant. We played a good counter-attacking game today, with intensity and technique. We always looked to score and that is good. We now have to work hard but this result gives us morale. Lazio are a worthy opponent, they will make it hard for anyone. Today we put them in difficulty. I think there are certain situations in which you have to be good at managing possession, whereas there are others where you have to use the counter-attack. It isn’t a definite that we will always play like this. I thought that Lazio would suffer with our players using their speed and it all went okay. We can’t get ahead of ourselves though and we have to stay calm and not think that we have now made it. The club has made some very good additions. Alex had a solid match and Menez had a great game. I will have to be good at getting the best out of the players I have available. My first match as coach was a string of wonderful emotions. More than as a player. Being a coach takes it out of you, but it leaves you with an incredible feeling of joy. It’s gratifying to see the players give their all for the shirt and for the club. The celebrations are what is beautiful about football.
