Juventus coach Max Allegri was delighted after their 1-0 Coppa Italia quarterfinal win against Lazio.
Gleison Bremer nodded home the only goal of the tie.
Allegri said, This evening was a good performance, especially in the first half, as Lazio had more of the ball after the break, but we allowed them very little.
"The most important thing was the attitude, which we certainly did not have in the first half against Monza. We conceded avoidable goals there and that made us reflect.
These are grown-up lads, they are responsible and know that spirit is just as important as tactics and technique. We were organised, played with patience and resisted the strong Lazio press this evening.
Playing against Lazio is not easy, especially as they become very dangerous when moving the ball around quickly. Instead, we slowed them down in the second half and did really well intercepting the passing channels. The only strong player they had in the air was Milinkovic-Savic and we did well to defend on the crosses for him too.
"Locatelli had a fantastic game, he is becoming a real example for the others with his heart, mentality and the way he faces games. He is a player with the Juventus DNA inside him, he never holds back. Chiesa and Vlahovic did some good things, some less so, Cuadrado came back too, so everyone had a good attitude.
"The most important thing is that we must never let go, whereas in the first half against Monza, we let go."
