Gianpaolo Pozzo spoke before the match marking Udinese’s 125th anniversary:

“The fact it’s the 125th anniversary? Udinese is our passion, not just mine, and it’s really special for us Friulians. Friuli has two emblematic elements - Udinese Calcio and the Alps, and they have a big impact on who we are. We’re passionate about football and always want to do our best. 

“It’ll be exciting to see club legends here and I know that everyone - except those who had prior commitments they couldn’t avoid - was delighted to be coming along. This means that they have good memories of Udinese which makes me happy. 

“As for our time playing in Europe, we achieved this and we’d like to repeat it again in the future. We still have the resources of a provincial team and we don't want to overstretch ourselves. No owner has done this in our 125 years of history and this has guaranteed our longevity. 

“I would like Luca Gotti to take us to Europe. I have a lot of respect for him and we always back our coaches. I hope we can do well together."
