Juventus coach Antonio Conte was understandably pleased with his side's performance in the 3-0 Coppa Italia victory against Roma on Tuesday.
The Bianconeri cruised to a comfortable win thanks to strikes from Emanuele Giaccherini and Alessandro Del Piero in the first-half and a late own-goal from Simon Kjaer.
The result allowed Juventus to take revenge on Roma after the Italian capital club had come out on top in previous years in the competition.
"We are doing well, we really wanted to go through in the tournament," he said after the game. "In the last years, Roma always knocked us out, but this time we defeated them.
"I am also happy because those who have not played as much this season proved they are ready and they deserve credit."
Conte then praised his side's scorers of the night, saying: "Giaccherini deserves my trust, some years ago he was in Serie C and thanks to his commitment he is living a fairytale.
"I am happy with Del Piero's goal, he was searching for it for a long time."
