The coach on the eve of the match against Monza: “The quality of the squad is fundamental, if you load the club with too many expectations you won’t do the right thing. Provedel to be evaluated for the bench, Zaccagni too needs to understand how he is . Atalanta-Fiorentina recovery at the end of the championship? Wouldn’t it be fair?” Palladino: “Sarri had different principles, Tudor makes intensity a strong point, we shared the locker room with him”

“What if the recovery of Atalanta-Fiorentina took place after the end of the championship? It’s something that wouldn’t be right, wouldn’t be regular. Italian football must improve a lot on these things”. Thus Igor Tudor, coach of Lazio, on the possibility of recovering the match between Gasperini’s team and that of Italiano once Serie A is over, a key match from a European perspective. Then, speaking of Monza, underlines how it will be “a difficult match, like all those in Serie A. We should do our best. The only goal is to perform great. Points and calculations are important, but we do our best and then we’ll see in the end. Palladino? I’ve known him since he was a Primavera. He recently started this career, he is having a good run and I expect a very difficult race. We have to have a serious race to do well there”, continues the coach.

The probable lineups of the 35th matchday
“The squad is worth 70-90% of a team”
Then Tudor moves on to the theme of the value of the rose: “What I understood here in Rome in forty-five days is that there is great passion and love, but also little objectivity in making a judgment when comparing roses. The quality of the rose is fundamental, it is worth around 70-90%. Then there is the skill of the coach and the skill of the club. Here in the Lazio world there is no objectivity to understand the right evaluation when it comes to the squad, even Sarri tried to make it understood. If you load the club with too many expectations you won’t do the right thing, common sense must always prevail.”
THE POINT
Lazio is thinking about the future, but the attack is a puzzle
“Zaccagni to be evaluated”
Then the individual topic: “Provedel has started training with us again. He’s been out for two months, he can’t play yet, let’s see about the bench. Let’s see how Zaccagni is, he’s an important player, even if it comes from a problematic period. We have to be good at understanding how to use it. Castellanos and Immobile?There are two possible starters although in my opinion it is cruel to talk about starters and not. It’s the good and the bad of football. This is the life of a footballer, you always have to confirm yourself.”
Palladino: “I shared the dressing room with Tudor”
On the eve of the match Palladino also spoke: “The first leg was a totally different match: now there is a new coach with other game principles,Tudor makes intensity and duels its strengths: perhaps it is a more cynical and concrete football than last season. It will be a complicated match, but we never got out of line.” Then other details on the tactical level: “Sarri played a game with different principles, I studied Tudor and I also know him well as a person, I shared the locker room with him when I was a child, during the time of Mister Lippi.I face him tomorrow and I’m pleased, he’s a coach who did well both in Marseille and Verona and took on a team with other principles and gave it his own identity”, added Palladino.
