This evening Genoa And Lazio will open the thirty-third matchday of Serie A, taking to the pitch at Marassi at 6.30pm. Six points behind fifth-placed Roma in the standings, the Biancocelesti can try to make a fascinating end to the season which, through a calendar within reach on paper, can accompany Immobile and his teammates towards a place in Europe. To talk about tonight’s match, the Laziopres.it editorial team contacted the former rossoblù midfielder exclusively Alessandro Budelvoice of Dazn since 2018.
Seventh place with 49 points and mathematically fifth place in the Champions League. What season finale do you expect from Lazio?
“I didn’t expect a championship of this type but something more. I don’t know if he can get to fifth place, I honestly see him as far away. I expect a sixth place perhaps, nibbling away at points from Atalanta”.
What do you think are the relevant innovations implemented by Tudor?
“I see her as more inclined to go vertically compared to Sarri’s ball possession, she tries to occupy the opponent’s area with greater density and I think this is the biggest difference, as well as man-marking rather than zonal marking”.
Did you expect Felipe Anderson’s choice?
“No, he was an important player in our Serie A”.
Luis Alberto also seems intent on leaving. Do you think Sarri’s departure had an impact on these decisions?
“Maybe yes, but they could also be saturated with respect to the environment or society itself. In addition to the connection with Sarri, I think it is a little more linked to this”.
What moves do you expect in the summer?
“He must move now, structuring a team of great value. We have already seen this year what the negative leap has been by losing an important player like Milinkovic-Savic. By now losing Felipe Anderson and perhaps Luis Alberto, fundamental players are missing”.
Did Gilardino’s season surprise you? Will Gudmundsonn and Retegui play at Marassi next season? Is the attacker a marketable name for Lazio?
“It struck me, Gilardino deserves all the compliments he deserves. It is difficult to predict where they will play, they are two important players and it is plausible that teams like Lazio could be interested. Retegui? I would think about it, but I like both profiles”.
What race are you expecting?
“I think it’s a good opportunity for Lazio to try to reach sixth place. He must try to bring home the three points for the rest of his journey. Genoa are coming off a good period, but if I have to choose I see a coup from the Biancocelesti”.
