this may be a bit late but what the hell
STANKOVIC
"Never in my life have I played in a match like that. I have no comments to make, I can't say what I think otherwise they would suspend me. I won't talk about the referee because he doesn't deserve to be spoken about. We gave everything we could. You all saw what happened on the pitch. Unfortunately it went like this."
(someone looks pissed off that he joined the wrong team :LOL: )
J.ZANETTI:
"Was there a clear penalty in Inter's favour? I've been in Italy for ten years and nothing has changed. We played an excellent match and the penalty foul on Emre was clear.
"We could have finished off the match in the first half. We're very disappointed we haven't reached the final, which we really wanted. We're very angry because everybody saw what happened. Now we have one objective less, but we must move on."
ADANI:
"We gave an excellent example of a united and strong squad, with moral and technical values. We exit the Coppa Italia on penalties, but in terms of our state of mind, heart, determination and play, we're winners. The team has responded to situations like this on several occasions."
EMRE:
"He [Paolo Montero] touched my left knee," said the Turk midfielder to Inter.it about the penalty incident witnessed by over 60,000 fans at the stadium and millions more on TV. "I felt the blow and I fell over. I've looked at the footage again and again and it absolutely was a penalty. However, it's not right to dwell on just one episode. There are several other things which explain last night's refereering."
Did you speak with the referee?
"Yes, at the end of the game. I showed him in what condition my legs were and he said sorry to me. Inter are a great team and we have nothing against Juventus. we're just sorry that the referee wasn't in form for such an important match. This was also clear when Maresca fouled me on the edge of the box in the second period of extra time. I have nothing to say against the Bianconeri player, but it was a foul and instead it wasn't even sanctioned. My team-mates on the bench and all the people who were pitchside heard the noise of the blow to my shinguard."
CORDOBA:
"A great test of character? Everybody saw what happened. You work and work, you have a great desire to do well, you play a great match and you really deserve to win and get into the final... And then you see everything ruined for something that has nothing to do with football. Unfortunately it always finishes like this."
ADRIANO:
"I knew it would be a difficult match but it's not nice to lose in this way. It's not right, but you learn all sorts of things in life. Now let's hope we win on Sunday."
ZACCHERONI:
"There's not much to say. We lost Cannavaro after just a few minutes, we were without defenders and we were in numerical inferiority. In these conditions it became tough. I'm sorry we haven't reached the final, the team played an excellent match, even when we were down to ten men. I was expecting Juventus to play like they did, I was hoping to finish the game with eleven men. Do I have anything to say against Pellegrino? I never talk about the referee."
(yeah cos their president made had his comments ready!)
FACCHETTI:
"When I saw that Pellegrino was named referee I thought bad things. The reality is that it was worse than I thought. This evening's refereering is unacceptable. It's not possible to go on like this. I don't want to stay here and list the referee's mistakes, and not just the incredible ones, but also many other episodes. Who should check these things? The institutions, who hide.
"I must also thank tonight's referee because he made the team determined again. They all made the effort. We were in ten men on the pitch and with a few injured players who made sacrifices. I have to pay my compliments to the team. I spoke to the boys after the match and told them we can win against everybody if we play like this.
MORATTI: (yup yup! he has a thing to say aswell)
"The picture is now complete. Quite honestly the two selectors could have spared us this irresponsible declaration, which is yet another provocation. They don't realise that all us Inter fans are very indignant, and rightly so. Naturally, I agree entirely with what Giacinto Facchetti said."
VIERI:
"I agree with Moratti. It wasn't a perfect game and everybody saw it," continued the Inter striker in reply to questions from journalists.
"More than anger, there's disappointment. Unfortunately it went like this. We were knocked out after penalties and I made the final mistake. I'm very sorry for my team-mates who played an excellent match up to the last second.
"We played well and we never gave up, not even when in difficultly. Very little separated us from the Coppa Italia final and this is a positive sign."
Vieri , what did you feel when you saw Chimenti save your penalty?
"I get angrier when I waste a chance in a match. You score or miss penalties, it happens, though I'm really very sorry about how it turned out."
