Lazio, Sarri asks for attention: “Lo Spezia is like a Paris-Roubaix”

Another exam to pass for the Lazio, second strength of the championship expected on Friday evening at the Peak of La Spezia. A challenge that comes immediately after the great success against Juve: “We will play in a particular stadium, with the fans very close together, on a small pitch, against an aggressive team who have only lost one at home in the last six games. and who beat Inter within friendly walls,” Maurizio Sarri said at the press conference. “It’s a match with enormous risks. In matches like tomorrow’s, we sometimes made the mistake of presumptuousness and we paid for it. Winning tomorrow would make me happy in terms of mentality”.

Lazio, out Vecino. Property from 1′

Against the Ligurians, the only absentee will be Vecino (“his knee bothers him a bit, he’ll do 3-4 days of treatment and then we’ll see if he can recover”), while Cyrus Immobile he will be on the field again from the first minute: “He’s been training continuously for two weeks, he can’t be at the top but he’s growing. Let’s see what he can give us”.
Sarri doesn’t want to think about the possibility of going to the Champions League (“If we don’t participate now, it means that we don’t deserve it”) and remains focused only on the Liguria match, compared “to a cycling Paris-Roubaix, a race full of traits where anything can happen.”

The controversies of Lazio-Juve

The technician then allows himself a judgment on Cataldi (“to become even better he lacks a pinch of engine capacity in the endgames, but I prefer someone like him who for 70 minutes gives all his respect to those who save”) and Pedro (“he seems very convinced of staying at Lazio”). The closing of the conference was dedicated to the refereeing of Lazio-Juve: “The worst part is that we left the field with the feeling of having been penalised, but the opposite seemed to appear in the newspapers” says Sarri, who then rattles off a series of episodes doubts: “Juve’s goal was irregular, because Rabiot trampled our goalkeeper. Furthermore, one of their players should have received 4-5 yellow cards. Let’s talk about the foul on Zaccagni: the start of the impact is on the line, and the line is area… But this is Rocchi’s problem, now let’s hope that Irrati, who is a good referee, will play a great game”.
