Conte at his early career with us, saw the cup as a distraction and never really paid attention to it. He has grown wiser, he always uses the strongest eleven and by now he knows that the cup could contribute with extra income.
We didnt know Pirlo's view up until now, with the selection of the subs, it is certain that he intentioanllyngave away the cup, maybe because we are too behind in the scudetto race and need to focus there
