The words of the former double Vladimir Jugovic on the match scheduled at the Olympic Stadium between Lazio and Juve, on Sarri’s farewell and the arrival of Tudor
Igor Tudor is preparing for his debut on the Biancoceleste bench. His Lazio awaits his past Juventus at the Olimpico for a big match between two teams that have collapsed in the last two months. Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport the double ex Vladimir Yugovic he expressed his opinion on the match at the Olimpico, also focusing on Sarri’s resignation and the arrival of the Croatian coach in the capital.
Allegri’s team, fresh from 7 points in 8 games before the break, starts again from the new Lazio of the former Tudor: who risks the most?
«Juve, there’s no doubt. For Tudor it is an advantage to start the new adventure against the Bianconeri. Not so much because Juventus was a former team of his as a player and also as Pirlo’s assistant. The truth is that if Tudor beats Juventus he will give an incredible shock to the whole environment, the best way to start and turn the corner. If, on the other hand, he were to lose, it wouldn’t be a tragedy: that’s something that can happen, right? The one who risks the most is Allegri, who must reverse course to get back to scoring points like before the post-Italian derby collapse.”
Surprised by Sarri’s resignation?
«No, because Sarri always seemed to me to be a very honest man. It’s not everyone who takes a step back and takes responsibility for a complicated moment: it’s a gesture that honors him.”
If you think of Tudor football?
«Igor’s teams are aggressive and total: you can also feel the influence of the school of Tomislav Ivic, the legendary coach from Split who led Ajax in the seventies».
Tudor introduced himself to Lazio by talking about his friend and compatriot Alen Boksic, like her a former former player of the two teams. Who would need the former Croatian striker more tomorrow?
