Massimiliano Allegri:
"I'm happy not only for tonight but for the whole year,On Wednesday, with a great performance, we will be through to the semi-finals of the Champions League, we are having a great league campaign and we are in the Coppa Italia final. We can only praise the boys, they have shown great maturity. Lazio play great football, are physically strong and has played less games, but we're having an extraordinary championship. We took our chances, I am very happy. By winning, we have lowered their chance in the league and we get a bit closer to the title. Now we have to win two or three games to become champions of Italy."
"Homesickness is normal, I feel it sometimes when I am away from Livorno, let alone being on the other side of the world like he is. But now we are only thinking about Serie A, Champions League and Coppa Italia, and Tevez is doing it in the best way. I preferred to take Andrea Pirlo off with 20 minutes to go to keep him in better condition for the next games. We must improve because on Wednesday we must play better on the technical side."
