"Juventus" secured their place in the final of the Italian Cup on Friday when they played a goalless draw with "AC Milan" in the second leg of the semifinals, but advanced due to the goal scored in the away match. Juventus' coach Maurizio Sarri was happy to see football return and had no complaints for his players after the match. "It's a great feeling to be back on the bench and see the team play after a three-month break. We only missed the fans. This period was difficult for all of us. The team's game in the first 30 minutes pleased me a lot. We dominated, but later the intensity dropped a bit. However, it's understandable at this moment. The players spent a long time on their sofas, so it won't be easy to get them back into rhythm. This situation is much worse than the one we faced before the season, as during the summer the players still remain active. It will take a lot of patience, but the start of the match today was positive," Sarri said after the match. Sarri also praised Cristiano Ronaldo, who missed a penalty kick. "Ronaldo wanted to play in this match himself and had some problems at the end, but he finished the game, which we really needed him for. The missed penalty kick from 11 meters was just bad luck," the Italian added. Juventus will face either Napoli or Inter Milan in the final – the teams will determine their relationship on Saturday night."
