Expectation from the Lazio-Verona match
Galderisi expects a complicated match for both teams, taking into account their respective physical and mental conditions. He praised Lazio for their formidable play against Juventus, stating that the team deserved more despite the defeat due to Milik’s goal. He also praised Verona for their excellent season, despite the many difficulties and changes. According to him, both teams have a lot to play for and time is so short that every detail could be decisive.
Hopes for the Champions League
Taking into account that 5 games remain until the end of the season, with many points still up for grabs, Galderisi is convinced that Lazio should continue to fight with determination for the Champions League. He does not hide the fact that the last goal Roma scored against Udinese helped strengthen the team, especially after the arrival of De Rossi. He underlines the importance of enthusiasm, work and sacrifice in moments like these, adding that the concreteness of the situation can, however, leave one speechless.
Tudor: a new course for Lazio
Galderisi, although he expressed disappointment at Maurizio Sarri’s exit, views Tudor’s arrival at Lazio favorably. He argues that with Tudor, the company demonstrated a clear understanding. He recognizes the challenges of working in certain environments, but is convinced that Tudor, with the right chemistry with the players, can do great things.
The Castellanos-Immobile case
Speaking about Castellanos and Immobile, Galderisi acknowledges that there are times when even great champions face difficulties. He praises Castellanos for his extraordinary growth, claiming that his two goals against Juventus demonstrate his value to the team. He expresses confidence that Immobile will also be able to overcome the current difficulty. While maintaining that Immobile’s future may not be in Rome with Lazio, he is convinced that the player just needs to find the certainty to continue doing great things.
