"Being in this stadium is very beautiful and exciting. These stadiums, these matches, must be the cornerstones of women's football in Italy. Roma are a good team, they have a good coach and a strong squad. We have to impose our game. The team is fine, obviously we will miss those who are not with us, but we have an great squad and I have faith in all of the girls. Being able to train this week was important, we studied the opponent, we rested a little mentally and we are ready. Roma have quality players who can make a difference. They love to have the ball and they press very high, we have to be careful about this and we have to be wary about their confidence as well, as confidence matters a lot in a final. Unfortunately Sara Gunnarsdottir took a blow to her ankle against Lyon and we decided to give her some time to recover, we hope that she will be back soon. Now, we have to think about tomorrow which is a final to win, but it will not affect our path this season regardless of the outcome. We work on ourselves and on our solutions to overcome the opponents, I know that when we manage to control the game we can hurt anyone."

"A final is always a final, it will be exciting to play at the Stadio Tardini. There is usually a bit of tension in these matches, I hope it doesn't affect things too much and that it's a great match. Both us and Roma have grown a lot in recent years, their strength is not a surprise. I feel good, I'm happy to be back and to be able to help the team. I hope that I can score again in the Super Cup. We are ready as a team, we are starting to see the fruits of all the work we have put in, in recent months after an atypical summer. Roma play well, they have acquired a lot of awareness, it also shows by what they are doing in Europe and they're getting used to playing high-level games. We are two excellent teams and we will play the game evenly. We know this season will be difficult considering what we won last year, the quality of this year's squad will certainly help us, given the great pressure that comes from what we have won in the past. We know that everyone wants to fight, but united we can overcome any difficulty."
