A beaming Alberto Zangrillo comments on the seasonal goal achieved: «The peaceful salvation that we promised has arrived, I am very happy. Today was important above all because the boys made a great contribution to the cohesion between the team, coach and fans. This is very important. I can say it now, I was calm for two months already: it hadn’t happened for a long time. Now let’s plan our future step by step. In front of the North Stands I perceive a great sense of responsibility, they are our most representative fans: we have encouraged a generational change, the kids are learning the values ​​of sport in a clean way.”

«Past injuries haven’t kept me at peace for a while, I would like to mention Thorsby who played a great match today. Sir Ranieri joked with him by saying “did you have to play a match like this today?”. Frendrup also played well and is part, together with the other Scandinavians, of an unprecedented programme. Renewal of Gilardino? The credit is totally attributable to the coach, the boys and the technical choices. I love him, I protected him personally: I am on his side, but I am not a master president who can decide unilaterally. The matter is delicate, we also need to feel his will but from tonight it is clear that the team is with him. It would be painful, especially for me, to lose him: for me, there are all the conditions to continue. In the stands there was Johannes Spors, a great talent who discovered the various Frendrups and Gudmundssons” explains Zangrillo.

«Sidio Corradi? He is part of my youth, he contacted me after having a cardiovascular ailment, I know that he is in good hands. He wanted to receive an emotion from the North Steps: he has always remained attached to this company and this city. The tribute was a must” comments Gilardino, quoted by Dazn.
