De Mita: «I was lucky to work in Lazio in those wonderful years. I remember Eriksson…”. The words of the former player
Intervened to the microphones of Radioseithe former press officer and General Director, Giuseppe De Mitaspoke about his experience in Lazio by Cragnotti. His words.
WORDS- “I was lucky to work for Lazio in those wonderful years and was injured when I met Eriksson. One of the things he did for me was convince me to quit smoking. At the beginning of the retreat I went running with him and since he saw me tired due to smoking, he quickly made me stop.king. Sven has an exceptional way of presenting himself, charismatic, always proactive and cheerful. Even in times of difficulty he always found a way to be positive. An example of how sport should be. Then in life he is a pleasure seeker: he made us work even under stress, but always choosing places and situations that gave us well-being. Speaking of particular episodes that happened in Lazio, I remember when Couto and Simeone attacked each other during a training session, but Eriksson never took it. He always reacted calmly and measuredly. I remember Boksic complaining before a match that the shirt he was wearing was too tight and he did this a lot. Eriksson at that point removed him from the starting list and communicated it to him. Always with serenity and calm. Then Boksic understood and asked him to go to the bench, but Sven sent him to the stands. Always calmly and without raising your voice. Never a tone was raised, never a word out of place with him ».
