Putting the collapse with Roma behind us: Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio restarts after the national break with the aim of forgetting the derby and resuming the race at the Olimpico against Sassuolo: “The derby has left scoria for everyone, we must transform them into positive energy against one of the strongest teams in Italy – says the Biancoceleste coach – I expect a high level season finale from everyone to redeem the derby “. The 0-3 inflicted by the Giallorossi still burns after two weeks:
“It was an inexplicable match for the attitude, after a minute the match was over. I am very pissed off with my players and with myself, because I sensed that they did not have the right emotional charge but I was unable to intervene.” No concessions with regard to the contract issue (“Future? For me the future is Sassuolo”), while with regard to players who are about to expire, the coach hopes to “have high-level professionals until the end”.
Immbile Chapter, which Sarri defends with drawn sword. For the Tuscan coach, the criticisms that rained down on the attacker after Italy’s knockout against Macedonia make no sense: “He is becoming a scapegoat, if I were him I would know what to do. He shouldn’t be angry, but concentrate on Lazio” . The Capitoline coach continues on the theme of elimination from the World Cup: “I have heard monstrous bullshit about the problems of our football. But nobody talks about structures: when you see the Bundesliga and then compare it with Serie A, our stadiums appear to have stopped at fifty. ‘Years ago”. The quality of the pitches is another problem: “When I talk about it, I’m the one who complains … But to play on certain fields is equivalent to giving a rusty scalpel to a surgeon”. Closing on Basic: “Involuto? I wouldn’t say, it represents the future of Lazio”.
