COACH MASSIMILIANO CANZI'S POST-MATCH COMMENTS
“Today was our last friendly, and it was important to come into the game with the right attitude. The result gives us confidence and I’m happy with how the girls took to the field today.
“Now we have to start to get serious, we’re at a good point, but we cannot expect to be at 100% because the season is long, but we’re definitely happy with our preparation.
“They were very compact at the start, there wasn’t much space, and we were trying to find ways to hurt them. Defensively there’s not much to say because we were never at risk. We created a lot of chances, but we need to be more clinical because we won’t always be able to make so many.
“I told the girls that from Tuesday, when we’re back together, that it would be our first ‘normal week’. We all want to start playing and fighting for points, we’ve trained a lot and we have our goals very clearly in our minds.”
SOFIA CANTORE'S POST-MATCH COMMENTS
“I’m very pleased with how we’ve prepared for the season, we’ve worked well and there’s a good atmosphere in the group. There are a lot of new players and it’s not easy to settle into a new side, but they’ve all done so immediately and they’re forming part of a great group.
“I want to do well and score a lot this season, I’ll try to be as clinical as I can. My aim is to hit double figures for goals because, for one reason or another, I’ve never managed it. My physical condition is important for the way I play, and the way we play now works well for me.
“Facing international teams this summer has helped us to prepare for European matches. We’ve shown that we can compete against anybody, and against Bayern Munich we played well so we’re confident. Of course, it will be tough but I’m positive.”
EVA SCHATZER'S POST-MATCH COMMENTS
“My year on loan at Sampdoria was very important for me. I grew a lot both as a player and as a person, all of this has me ready for this season with Juventus.
“The coach is very direct, he has his clear ideas and he explains them to us every day. I’m very happy to be working with him. He wants us midfielders to get involved on the ball, to carry it but also to push up and help out in attack. We have to provide balance, but we also have to take part in attack.
“So far I’ve seen good things about the way we’re working, we’re training well and we can have a good season.”
