"I was struggling to breathe, I was a little scared, but we've performed a check-up and everything is fine. The truth is that I saw that Mattia was performing well in training, I got tired and as a result Mattia performed a double miracle, so congratulations to him. Perin works seriously - with him and Pinsoglio we form a good group."
FEDERICO GATTI
"Scoring was an indescribable emotion, to remember forever. I was a little bit lucky but sometimes you need that too. Having said that, it's only the first round. In Lisbon it will be tough, they are a team that like to attack, we will have to fight."
MATTIA PERIN
“The first thing I asked when I got back to the dressing room was how was Tek. We hugged after the game. This is the most important thing. Now we mustn't let our guard down or believe it's over, because we've only completed the first half. There is a wonderful harmony between us goalkeepers, we raise each other's level, there is a strong sense of friendship and great loyalty. I try to keep working on myself not only on the pitch but also off it. When I'm called upon, I want to help Juventus, tonight we saw how much we give out there on the pitch, and this sense of sacrifice is something that gives us great energy."
MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
"Every person in our set-up puts us in a position to do well. We made some mistakes, we need to improve, like in the last attack of theirs when Perin made two important saves. In the second half, however, we grew with the three midfielders, we found more space and breadth. I congratulate the lads, it wasn't easy to win without conceding a goal. As I always say, football is a mathematical equation. I started with the three up front, who often stayed beyond the line of the ball which created difficulties for us against a team that runs at you like Sporting does. You need to keep your balance. However, it's not an easy season, the players need their time, we need to help them grow. Playing for Juve isn't easy: Gatti is improving after a difficult moment because he's a sponge, he soaks everything up, learning a lot and still has a lot of room for further improvement. Now we have an important objective, aiming at Atalanta who are four points ahead of us. We have to set ourselves these objectives and believe in them even more - we must not be satisfied, we must win at Sassuolo."
