"I'm sorry for the boos to the team at the end of the game, at this moment we should applaud them anyway. It was an unusual thing for Empoli".

Empoli is fighting until the end, I expect some players to recover and I believe we have the tools to win some. Boos children of the cup test? If someone thinks that we can win the cup I think they should change teams. We have made many young people play, this is a service that the team is giving us".

The top executive is a raging river and reiterates. "I repeat, I hope there is someone who can make better investments than me, but if they go around, here nearby they are experiencing difficult situations. They see us as a model, then the model defends itself by encouraging the boys and maintaining balance and calm", concludes the president.
