Luciano Spallettiis an Italian football manager and a former player. He is currently in charge of Serie A club Roma... (wikipedia)
Watching him walk today after seeing his injury really moved me.
We face a very strong and motivated side but we really want to win this trophy. It is very important to us.
Francesco also realized it, and immediately said 'I'm broken.
He is the feather in our cap, the real coach on the pitch.
We were a bit all over the place in the first few minutes and it is always hard when you concede a goal so early.
We can beat Inter, but we must be prepared to consider that we can't win all matches through the end of the season.
We are doing simple things, but well done.
We are glad to have changed the minds of our supporters and to have won them over.
We didn't take advantage of one or two of the chances we created on the break, but the result is a fair reflection of the match.
As soon as I saw the tackle I knew it was a serious injury.
It would mean a lot for us, for him and the national team.
It's a shame we dropped so many points at the start of the season. At least we're making them up now.
It was a tough game but I thought we deserved to qualify.
It's a fantastic achievement. To still be in this competition, particularly with some of the injury problems we've had, shows how hard our players have worked. We played well tonight especially on the break. But we also did well to keep a clean sheet.
That quick goal made our match difficult, but I must compliment my players for their good reaction and performance. Of course, in front, we suffered from the absence of real strikers.
It will be hard, but we will try to keep this rhythm going as long as possible.
At this stage, all I can do is wait to see how the situation develops. It all depends on what decision the club takes, so I must remain open to all possible alternatives.
I'll try to make few mistakes. Mancini has some advantage, because he already lived these moments. He already has won the Italian Cup as a player and as a coach.
I have to congratulate my players on how they handled the situation playing with ten against eleven. I can't complain about my players' mental fortitude.
Certainly, we would like to have Francesco on the pitch because he is a great player. He is training regularly with the team but we want to do everything the right way for his recovery.
I can rely on a solid group with great enthusiasm ... but the teams preceding us in the table are too strong. We can aim to clinch fourth place and a Champions League spot.
