The Women's First Team scored an incredible three goals in six minutes to come from behind and beat Inter 3-2 on Matchday 7 of the Serie A season.

Coach Isaac Guerrero and Martina Rosucci spoke after the match.

ISAAC GUERRERO

“This victory means so much, especially as it comes in the Derby d’Italia. I’m proud of these girls, of the character they’ve shown, of their determination to impose their style of play, to move the ball around and to put our opponents under pressure. We know we’ve had a difficult start to the season, but this team has shown great character. We went to Austria and won with real grit, we played in Florence and struggled against Sassuolo, but found the strength to fight back with a second half full of courage. This team deserves this reward.
"As our captain said earlier, Juventus is alive and kicking. We wanted to recapture the feeling and standard of play we’d shown in the Women’s Cup, when we managed to hold our own against top sides like Milan, Como 1907, Inter and Roma. When you try to play with courage and push beyond your limits, sometimes you have to accept taking a few steps back. Those who take risks may be rewarded, but they may also be punished. These girls, however, didn’t let fear get the better of them and kept believing right until the end.

"We’re responding to those two or three poor results we’ve had, some of which perhaps didn’t reflect how we’d performed on the pitch. Now football is starting to pay off for us. I’ve told the girls that we’re on the right track, that this victory is the reward for all the hard work they’re putting in and, above all, for the courage they’ve shown."

MARTINA ROSUCCI

“I’m really happy and proud of my teammates and the whole squad, because it wasn’t easy. We went through a difficult spell, we managed to bounce back, then we suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League and it’s never easy to bounce back straight away. Today we beat a very strong side, playing what I thought was an extraordinary first half, even though we didn’t manage to capitalise on the chances we created. Then we fell behind, but we found the strength to fight back. I just want to say one thing: we’re still in it!
"This team must believe in itself, in its identity and in its ability to dig deep, especially in difficult moments. Today we managed to do that, and that means we have those qualities within us. A win like this makes you realise that even when everything seems complicated, if you keep believing, you can turn things around. It really only takes a few minutes – we proved that today. In other matches we’ve become a bit paralysed when faced with difficulties, but this comeback shows us that all it takes is a single moment, an individual piece of play, or someone who manages to give that little bit extra to completely turn a match around. Football can change from one minute to the next.”
