Below, the statements of the Empoli defender, Mattia Vitireleased to Sky Sports post-match.
A defensive department, is it an Empoli that never concedes goals?
No, you said it, the prize belongs to everyone. I don’t feel like saying a defensive unit, I feel like saying a great team. Because it wouldn’t be possible without a midfield like this that gives the soul, attackers who return. Everyone wants for the other and this is strength.”
