Coach Massimiliano Allegri, goalkeeper Mattia Perin and hat-trick hero Arek Milik comment after Thursday's 4-0 Coppa Italia quarter-final victory over Frosinone.
MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
“I thank the boys who played a good match and entertained the crowd, now we're thinking about the league, we'll think about Lazio in April. We're pleased with the victory and our safe passage to the next round. Tomorrow we will rest, then from Saturday we will think about Sassuolo, who scored four goals against us in the first leg. The second part of the season begins now, and we have to work. I'm happy with the support of the fans, I respect them and I always try to do my best, they are giving us a big hand this year. It was also important for Arek Milik to score goals, but he always plays a good game, even when he doesn't score. Kenan Yildiz is doing well, let's not pile pressure on him. Weston McKennie is back doing what he does best, after a complicated year: he has great running ability and quality."
MATTIA PERIN
“Victories like this or the one in Salerno only come if the group is compact. And we are proving to be so: today the game opened up immediately, and we found more space and were good at scoring. An example is Manuel Locatelli, an altruistic player, who was so unselfish as he served the hat-trick to Arek.”
AREK MILIK
“I'm very happy, we managed to get through and I helped the team with a hat-trick. We are all very proud."
