Darmian and Frattesi: "We deserved to make the final and want to win the trophy"

“We did well, displaying the right amount of desire and determination. Lazio possess a lot of quality, but we played well and deserved to progress to the final. Winning breeds winning and doing it in this manner certainly helps. Monday will be a difficult match against a tough side who showed their full potential last season. They’ve had a few difficulties so far this campaign but are a team to be wary of, even if we’ll take to the pitch with the desire to win this trophy. We knew we could cause them problems down the flanks and prepared for the game in just a few days, but we put everything into it technically, tactically and in terms of attitude.”

“A real strength of this team is not stopping when we have the opportunity to strike the knockout blow, and I think this is vital in order to reach the end of all competitions. I think the mental side of things - especially in the first half - made the difference: we didn’t let them implement their ideas, so it was an excellent game from our perspective. Now, our attentions will turn to Napoli; we want to win and lift the trophy.”
