On the eve of Roma Primavera-Lazio the Giallorossi coach Federico do you drive spoke to the club’s channels:
“Now there is very little left until the end of the season and the achievement of the objectives for each team. We are there with an extremely positive path, especially in the last period, peppered with high quality performances. We are in the first two positions, which is now the objective that we will try to defend until the last day with all our strength. Now we have a beautiful match to play, we know how the derby is a stimulating and beautiful match to play. At the same time it is an important match for the league table, because it could also, perhaps thanks to Atalanta’s result, allow us to definitively consolidate the top two positions, which would give us direct access to the Scudetto semi-finals. So we know we are facing a team of great quality, a solid and organized team, which is in the top positions from the first days. It will be a great challenge, where both the emotional and the technical-tactical aspects will be decisive.
The first leg was decided by an episode, what shouldn’t Roma repeat from that match?
“The goal conceded is the emblem of what Lazio will try to do. The match will be similar to the first leg, Lazio knows how to defend very well in a low block and is lethal on the counterattack if you give them space or give them opportunities They know how to be cynical and concrete. It will take patience, great attention. We will have to be good at thinking together, also because they know how to hurt you one-on-one and in the open field.”
