“We always have to be supported by great energy, it is important for us because we play quite wasteful and not speculative soccer. We are also fine physically, however, it is inevitable that when you accumulate games upon games every three days, you are forced to play with the same or rotate with the same all the time.”

“It is inevitable that the energy is not always at its maximum, to accuse some downturns. I always said it would be a complex year, however, I did not expect after five months this shambles that happened to us of serious injuries to important players. In difficulties we have to be strong and cohesive and play like tonight”.

Rasmus Hojlund, who with his goal put the seal on the match score, also spoke: “I am very happy for myself and for the group, now we have a chance to win on a trophy. In the final, whether it is with Inter or Bologna, anything can happen. Lukaku? I hope to see him back on the field as soon as possible because he is a top player. We have a really good relationship, he teaches me a lot”,
