At the end of the race between Lazio And Sassuolo the midfielder spoke exclusively to our microphones Nicolò Rovella who answered our questions.
Is this race a bit like this season?
There is some god regret. We wanted to win to give joy to our fans, to Felipe and Eriksson. Let’s take the good things from this season, we have had an excellent run in the Champions League. There’s a bit of regret about the championship, we could have finished higher, but we’ll do it again next year.
Personal budget?
I always set very high limits for myself. It was a good year, but I had the misfortune of being out for two and a half months. I hope to be well all next year. I hope to show up to the training camp at 100% and give my best.
Felipe has designated you as his heir, do you want to stay at Lazio for as long as him?
It’s the mI dream. I hope to stay here for the next 10/15 years. I thank Felipe for the compliments he gave me. I will try to prove him right.
What was your approach with the fans?
They are fantastic. I get emotional when they sing The Gardens of March. Always an emotion to play here at the Olimpico. Today was special, difficult to explain in words. A beautiful atmosphere, we thank the fans in the hope of doing much better next season.
Differences between Sarri and Tudor?
Sarri was a master, he helped me a lot even in the defensive phase. With Tudor it’s a different football, I try to adapt. Let’s see next year, he definitely has different ideas.
Have you missed scoring this season?
There is regret, I was hoping to do it today in front of the fans but I wasn’t able to. That’s a big goal for next year. With Inter at home I made a mistake in front of Sommer, sometimes I think about it because I would have been very happy to score.
