There Lazio changes skin once again. After the farewell of Igor Tudorthe Biancoceleste club has decided to entrust the technical guidance to Marco Baroni, the third coach in less than a year. Who is Marco Baroni and what it can lead to Lazio? The answer is not simple, but certainly intriguing. Baroni, fresh from a sporting miracle withHellas Verona, where he obtained an unexpected salvation despite a huge winter transfer market, he is ready to test himself in a demanding market like the Roman one. The official press release of the club chaired by Claudio Lotito leaves no room for doubt: «The SS Lazio announces that he has entrusted the role of first team coach to Marco Baroni. The coach, starting from next July 1st, will join the Biancoceleste club with a multi-year contract. Welcome to Baroni in the Capital and the best wishes for good work from the entire Biancoceleste family.”
BARONI’S CHALLENGE
But what does it mean for the Lazio the arrival of Baroni? The answer may lie in his ability to transform struggling teams into competitive teams. Baroni has shown that he knows how to work well with young people and that he knows how to build a solid group, characteristics that could be fundamental to relaunching the club’s ambitions. Lazio. His experience withHellas Verona is emblematic: a team given up for dead in the middle of the season which, under his leadership, was able to react and achieve a salvation that seemed like a mirage. There Laziowith a higher quality squad, could benefit enormously from his ability to motivate and organize the group.
A MARKET WITH PROTAGONISTS
The arrival of Baroni (curiously as a player already in Rome for one season, 1986-1987, but on the Giallorossi side) could also influence the summer market from the Lazio. The coach will certainly have specific requests to strengthen the team and make it competitive in all competitions. And who knows, maybe some young talent could find in Baroni the ideal mentor to finally explode. Claudio Lotito and the Biancocelesti management will therefore have to work closely with the new coach to build a squad that lives up to expectations. THE fansfor their part, hope that this is the right time to see one Lazio protagonist, capable of fighting for the top of the championship and making a good impression in Europe.
BARONI’S TACTICS
From a tactical point of view, Baroni is a coach who prefers organized play and defensive solidity. His favorite form is the 4-4-2, but does not disdain adapting to the characteristics of the players available. At the Lazio he could opt for a 4-3-3, taking advantage of the quality of the midfielders and the speed of the attackers. The defense must be the team’s strong point, with high pressing and great attention to preventive marking. In attack, however, there is room for imagination and creativity, with players ready to make the difference despite the now certain farewells of Luis Alberto And Felipe Anderson.
