Monza coach Nesta thrilled with victory over Brescia in Coppa Italia

Nesta later mentioned: "The enthusiasm grows when you win. I am pleased with our performance in the first half, it was really good. The second half was not as strong, but we can work on that. The victory over Brescia has lifted a weight off our shoulders, as we hadn't won in a long time. However, we have two challenging games ahead and we need to be prepared to fight for the win."

"The Serie A standings? I don't look at it also because I know very well that I have to win some games, we need nastiness, which we've had at times and not at others. But it's a fundamental component, especially for those like us who have to save ourselves and need to be very tough. I always talk to my players because we know that we need to find an identity, with Bologna something was missing but we are working to find a more defined identity.

"Caprari did well, he has quality, he works well between the lines and I'm happy for him. The attitude of the players who have played less have done well and are giving a hand, they are fundamental when they play but also during training."
