The words of the Biancoceleste coach, who spoke shortly after the final whistle of the match directly from the belly of the Olympic stadium
At the end of Lazio’s victory against Verona he spoke to the microphones of DaznIgor Tudor. These are the words of the Biancoceleste coach. “I’m satisfied because it was a difficult match and we knew it. We prepared it as a final after many close matches, Verona is difficult to beat. We started well, then they put their best foot forward in a balanced first half. In the second we accelerated with chances, there was a good save from Mandas. But a good match, it comes after these matches and there was mental tiredness. They were motivated, they played for their lives. I congratulate my boys, it was a victory of important values.
There will be work to do in the summer, but I already think that many players in the current squad can play this football. We have to see, try to improve like all the opponents do. Before he played four-a-side and with other football, now there are different things. We will certainly be careful to complete ourselves. Now I see people applying themselves and having fun, it’s a pleasure to coach these guys. We just need to finish as best we can because there’s not much left.Castellanos? He is a boy with great qualities, we have talked a lot these days. Sometimes he thinks too much about the goal, I want to make him more carefree. He is sensitive, but he has a great desire to attack space and move a lot, I like it. Then he will certainly be able to improve in front of goal. But he is a good, generous boy. This is a luxury, compared to other attackers. I like. Luis Alberto loves football, touching the ball, he is always in our games.
Kamada has fluidity, he is also offensive: there is a nice fluidity with Luis. And they have quality: without people like that you can’t score a goal or the last pass. Perhaps Kamada was less suited to Sarri’s type of football, these things happen. For me he is a fantastic player who can play various roles and has an important mentality. He can play anywhere, never gives up and doesn’t do anything wrong. He has a computer in his head. Maybe all players were like this, maybe they had ten Kamadas. From a psychological point of view it would be something that everyone would like. The Champions zone? I think doing the calculations is useless. You have to make as few mistakes as possible, everyone plays for something. We are there and we will play it until the end”.
