Bologna director Marco Di Vaio insists they ‘earned our place here’ in the Supercoppa Italiana Final against Napoli and credits Vincenzo Italiano with their ‘courage.’

“It is another final against a great team, we prepared in the best possible way and are ready to take on a strong opponent. There’s a trophy to be raised at the end of it, so naturally it’s an emotional evening.”

“What the coach says is right, people will only remember the winner of a final. We know Bologna from the league, they are a very good team and we already played against them in November. They also won the Coppa Italia last season, so they have quality, but we believe in ourselves and will do our best to win the game.”
