Pellegrini: "We Successfully Persevered And Achieved Our Goal, Which Is A Source Of Joy For Me. We Even Managed To Exact Revenge In A Challenging Situation. We Want To Go As Far As Possible In The Italian Cup."

Lazio soars into the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup after a triumphant victory over Genoa at the Olimpico. The decisive goal, courtesy of Guendouzi, secured their passage to the next round. A notable figure in the evening's proceedings was Luca Pellegrini, who displayed visible emotion at the conclusion of the match. The Lazio full-back shared his thoughts on the game-changing assist in a post-match interview.

"We successfully persevered and achieved our goal, which is a source of joy for me. I am pleased to have contributed to the team's efforts. We are performing admirably and giving our all, which is exactly what we should be doing. The outcomes are validating our approach. As the coach emphasizes, our focus should be on delivering a strong performance, as the desired results will follow. We even managed to exact revenge in a challenging situation."

"It's been a long time since I started playing. Despite my exhaustion upon arrival, I persevered and pushed through. I am immensely satisfied with the exceptional performance displayed by everyone. Throughout my experience, I have been a part of various teams, but this particular group is truly remarkable in terms of the positive atmosphere and communication we share. We are a collective of individuals who possess outstanding character, perhaps even to the point of being overly virtuous. Even those of us who don't get much playing time are always on the ball and give it our all. This locker room makes me proud. We gritted our teeth, even if we weren't very good in the last few minutes and had to work a little harder, but we showed our desire. We want to go as far as possible in the Italian Cup."
