Post-Match Reactions

Massimiliano Canzi (Juventus Women Head Coach): “Aside from the national break, we were coming from a period in which we hadn’t done very well in terms of results, despite putting in good performances. It was vital to give a precise signal from this point of view too. The girls were very good, they approached the match very well both in the first half and in the second. I can’t help but be happy. The Italian Cup always has an important value, it is one of our seasonal objectives, so we must do everything to get to play in the final. I’m happy with the performance, there was certainly a reaction from Fiorentina and a bit of suffering, but if there wasn’t a bit of suffering in an Italian Cup semi-final there would be something wrong – proof that the level of competition is high.”

Chiara Beccari (Juventus Women Player): “The victory was very important for us today and we used this break to recharge our energy and we consider it helps us a lot for morale both in the Cup and in the championship. We have a very broad and deep squad and today’s match likewise shows that there are many players who can play and do well: for us the Italian Cup is very important, as is the championship. Obviously we know that in the championship there are many points to recover, but we will attempt until the end just as in the Cup.”
