Namely, after the game, in a statement he gave to the Italian media, Pirlo dedicated the victory to Sinisa Mihajlovic, who passed away a year ago.

"It was a beautiful victory, achieved on a difficult pitch. We continued with successful games. We approached the game well and managed the situations well, except for the last minutes, we are satisfied. We expected a goal from De Luca and it finally arrived today: he got rid of the burden, now he will have much more to give," said Pirlo and added:

"We played for Sinisa Mihajlovic, he was an example for everyone, both on and off the pitch: with this victory, we remember him with great pleasure. By the way, a goal was scored by Kasami, who has a similar build to him and is left-footed. The fans are always with us, they were today, also. We now have two more games to do well before the break: they should give us the impetus to go into 2024 with great energy."

December 16 marked one year since the death of the football great Sinisa Mihajlovic. A Telegraf team was in Rome for the memorial service , and through a series of articles, including an interview with Miha's own brother, they paid tribute to the legend that Sinisa Mihajlovic was.
