Joe Montemurro’s words
“After the Roma game there was a lot of disappointment, but we have to stop thinking about that game now and focus on what lies ahead. We need to get as many points as possible between now and the end of the season. We spoke to the girls about this, and I have to say that the team are doing well. Today was an opportunity to play some of the girls who play less, and I’m glad they played in a game of this level. When you don’t often play from the first minute and then you’re chosen, it’s normal that there’s some risk involved. This was the case for Asia Bragonzi, for example, and she found her feet in the game. She’s a player I like a lot, and every coach would love to work with someone like her - she’s always focused, ready to improve and put herself on the line. She also has a great impact on the group on a personal level.”
Arianna Gallina’s post-match comments
“It filled me with emotion to make my Juventus debut, and more so to have done it in this stadium, in my home city. It’s a really beautiful feeling. I’m happy the team managed to win too. I didn’t expect to be brought on so early, it happened so quickly after just a few minutes, but when the coach told me to warm up I knew I was coming on. I listened to the advice he gave me and once I was on the pitch I did my best without thinking too much about the pressure.
“My grandfather was here in the stands. He takes me to almost every game and that’s something I’m always thankful for. My mother was here too, thankfully in the end she was able to make it.”
