De Roon’s words in view of Juve
“We are very happy, going to the final again is a lot, especially after the disadvantage in Florence. We were lucky to find the goal straight away and this gave us confidence, after that it was a bit of a dirty match. In the second half we got going again strong and there was plenty of space, it’s just a shame about the goal conceded on a dead ball, but having regained qualification for the final is a huge satisfaction. The final with Juventus? We can beat anyone, but it won’t be easy.”. Thus De Roon to Mediaset after the match.

Fiorentina, speaks Italian
“The greatest bitterness? Inevitably the expulsion… in ten men is tough. We changed everything, we hadn’t had a red card for a year. In the end we defended ourselves in an orderly manner and conceded the right. We managed to score, but with ten men it’s really tough against this Atalanta team. Until the 3-1 goal we were good. We came here with the idea of passing the round.” As Italian to Mediaset after the match.
