Milan, 16 December (LaPresse) – ‘The motivation is very high, but we also need the awareness to be able to manage certain moments of the match. They are not exams, they are matches that allow us to compete at a high level, in a different but equally fascinating competition. We are well and we are 100% focused on tomorrow night's match, because these matches must serve to grow and to continue working with pride. To measure ourselves against a team of this level is an important opportunity for us’. Thus Cagliari coach Davide Nicola speaking on the eve of the Coppa Italia match against Juventus. ‘Atalanta is the past, this is a different competition, with completely different dynamics. I told the boys to go out onto the pitch with pride and with the desire to measure themselves against another great team. We deserved it and so it's fair to play it,' he added.
