"We played a decent game, we did everything well. We were well-balanced; we capitalised and created big chances. We could have managed certain situations better, and given the level we have, we need to take advantage in those. You have to be fierce and mean. A real lion gives all of its strength, even against a mouse."
"They're two central strikers. If you talk to them, they'll tell you that's where they operate best on the pitch. David is technically very good, and links up well with the team. He moves very well in the box when the team plays against a low block and knows how to manage difficult situations. Openda is better at attacking from deep; he needs space, but they compensate for each other and can also play together. We're pleased that they're doing well."
Juventus defeated Udinese 2-0 to secure a Coppa Italia quarter-final berth, with goals from Jonathan David and Manuel Locatelli. The victory extended Juventus' unbeaten run to eight matches in all competitions and maintained their record of progressing from the Coppa Italia last 16 to the quarter-finals for 18 consecutive seasons since the knockout format returned in 2008-09. Juventus remain unbeaten in their last 12 meetings with Udinese (W11 D1). The team dominated the match with additional goals disallowed for offside. Jonathan David registered six touches in the opposition box, and David and Lois Openda offer complementary striker profiles.
