“I told them [the players], if you win with me who have never won anything, you are already great,” Sarri told Sky Sport Italia after the match.
“Since the first day you entered, you saw a lot of people, not just world class players. Over time, you like them and relate well, professionally and personally. “

“Of course it’s special. It’s hard to win, it’s getting more complicated to keep winning, because taking things for granted in sports is one of the biggest lies in the world. “
“This is not a walk in the park. It’s long, difficult, tense, and the squad deserves a lot of praise for continuing to find passion and determination to continue pursuing the title 9 times.”
“I left [the celebration on the field] because I tried to avoid a bucket of water to be splashed on me. I tried to run away, but failed, “he added, laughing.
