Rome, 12 May (LaPresse) – “Personally, I’ve already lost two domestic cup finals – in Italy and in England, on the seventh penalty against City. We’d done a bit more in that match; it’s a huge regret. This is a trophy; it belongs to the players and the fans, and we want to give them a real sense of satisfaction. It’s been tough for them not to be able to come to the stadium either. I think I’ve had a long career behind me; winning the trophy won’t change my life. It would be nice to give the lads and the fans something to celebrate.” So said Maurizio Sarri, Lazio’s manager, at a press conference on the eve of the Coppa Italia final against Inter. “After lunch I started preparing for tonight’s meeting; I was struggling to find the right words. Whatever I say is just rhetoric; it’s clear that it’s important, clear that it’s a difficult match. We need to forget about Saturday’s game; any further words are superfluous. We need these things. We have to believe in it to the point of madness,” he added.
