MARTINA ROSUCCI’S POST-MATCH COMMENTS

“Finally after a long time I’ve officially returned to playing. I had already come back for a friendly, but today I returned to playing in a competitive game and it’s an incredible feeling. I looked forward to this moment every day, and now I’ve done it.

“Anybody who knows me would know that these tears were inevitable. There’s a lot of things behind the tears, but a lot of happiness. In a lot of moments I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but even if I couldn’t see it I believed it was there and I knew this moment would come. So those tears were tears of freedom and happiness, and in life when bad things happen if you don’t give up then something good can always come after it.”

MASSIMILIANO CANZI’S POST-MATCH COMMENTS

“I have to give compliments to Lazio, they played their game really well, they put us in difficult but we did well to resist and to keep looking for the winner right until the end. We were well and fortunate in some situations, but it’s a good sign that we were able to hold them off.

“I’m very happy for both [Eva Schatzer and Martina Rosucci]. Starting with Eva, she’s still very young but she’s working hard and improving a lot, and she’s always been ready to play when we’ve needed her. Martina is working well, she’s working a lot. Of course she’s not exactly where she wants to be physically because she’s been out for a year and a half so that’s very normal. Today we put her on at a very important time in a finely balanced game, so we know what she can do and we didn’t rush her. We know how important she is, and she showed that by coming on in an important moment.

“Now, from tomorrow morning we’ll be thinking about the Women’s Champions League against PSG, which will be a very tough game.”
