May 14th at 3 am on May 15th, in the Italian Cup final, Bologna will play against Milan. Before the game began, Bologna coach Italiano attended the press conference.

How do you view the historical significance of this final?

"We are full of passion, because it is this belief that supports our Italian Cup journey. From the second leg of the semi-finals at the Stadium Dalala (Bologna home court) to the countless fans pouring into the Olympic Stadium to cheer tomorrow. After 51 years, Bologna will return to such an important final. Many years later, people will see Bologna fight for the championship trophy again. Tomorrow we will write history together. Although we are facing the champion AC Milan, we are eager to show our opportunities. We know the strength of our opponents, but we also have the fighting spirit to win."

Have you ever expected to get to this point?

"Bologna has continued to improve and develop in recent years. Under the leadership of Chairman Saputo, we have made progress year by year and our goals are consistent."

What vow will we make if we win the championship?

"The oath has been said enough, and we must take practical actions. If a miracle really happens, I will consider it after it happens. At this moment, we are fully focused on preparing for the game against Milan. There are still some details to be polished tomorrow, but we will do it. We will face Milan with our heads held high."

So how do you prepare for this game?

"Milan is more used to playing this kind of final game. They have won a championship trophy this year, and we have been waiting for the championship trophy for many years. But every game starts from scratch, and we have to forget the 15-minute slack on Friday. Both sides will adjust the lineup, and we must play freely, fearlessly, and without regrets."

You have lost many finals before...

"This is my seventh time In the final, it is a kind of achievement to be here. The beauty of the final is to defeat strong enemies and create surprises. We are not optimistic about it, but we have achieved extraordinary results. Participation is glory. My first 6 finals record is 3 wins and 3 losses. If the players help me win tomorrow, I will be very happy, but it is beautiful enough at this moment. From the eyes of the players to the enthusiasm of the fans, we are eager to please the fans with a victory. "

What is the tactical focus of this game? Will Dalinga or Castro be sent on the front line?

"You asked me if Milan was good in two games before, and I firmly believe yes. We will start from scratch, review the mistakes in the last 15 minutes of the last round and continue the performance in other periods. The players have dangerous predictions, concentration and sacrifice, and there is no need for me to say much. Even if I am not present, they will do their best. This is a compliment to De Silvestre and the whole team. We must go lightly and remove the burden of thinking."

Your speech at Palace Quirinale touched Bologna

"We have been full of this emotion since we took office. We started from a difficult start in Valles before the season By the gradual growth, team relationships and thinking styles transform, and results follow. I have never seen such a united group. Our starters performed well and substitutes were better. My speech came from the heart, and this year’s experience prompted me to show the Chairman what tomorrow’s battle means to Bologna. We make the club happy, the older generation of players have witnessed Bologna’s championship, but their peers may never have experienced such events. We must set an example, show fair play, make the game a feast, and the teams that perform better will win. ”

Is the desire to make history motivation or pressure?

"When stepping on the court, you only need to focus on the game itself. After kick-off, forget about things outside the court, show quality and calmness on both ends of the offense and defense. Do your best to fight every confrontation, focus and keep your mind focused. The players understand that humility and making fewer mistakes are the key to winning. We are at a disadvantage on paper strength, and we must make up for it with hard work."

Will you take risks and send players who are not fully recovered to the court?

"There has not been answered before. His foot injury seems to have healed, but he has not played the whole game for two months. His starting physical fitness is doubtful, and the substitute may play a role. Careful decision-making is required and no mistakes are made. Castro just lacks game time. Holm, Ndoye and Odegao will also return, and it needs to be coordinated."

What does it mean for 30,000 Bologna fans to watch the game on the spot?

"This will be moving, we have allowed the whole city to usher in an important game again after many years. The city is filled with an indescribable atmosphere... You can feel the huge expectations of people for this game. After the referee whistle, we must fight for 29,000 'red and blue beasts', and they are just as eager to win the cup. Unfortunately, they cannot play, but we will feel their existence, and they are eager to fight side by side with us."
