Paolo Di Canioformer striker of Lazio and now football commentator, spoke about Lazio’s next season and the arrival of Marco Baroniformer coach of Lecce, in a long interview given to The messenger:
Fans protest
Obviously, it was more than natural considering the evident downsizing of the team and the club’s prospects. The fans have the right to express their dissent and they did so in the most polite way possible. But they won’t get anything, that’s clear.
Tudor’s farewell
He understood that Lazio didn’t have the conditions to play the football he wanted. There was too much power in the locker room and Igor noticed it. As always he starts from scratch.
If Lazio loses players like Luis Alberto or Felipe Anderson and deals with new signings who are relegated or were saved on the last day then you can’t think big: it will be a difficult market and I don’t know if the club will be able to face it in a way competitive. I see they celebrate a young man like Isaksen: but what did he do besides a few bucks?.
The arrival of Marco Baroni
Baroni is a worker and a wonderful person, maximum respect for him, but this too is a clear downsizing. Sarri could ask and demand players, Baroni will indicate his needs, but he will not be able to command. He will indicate three names but will always receive the third, if it suits him.
For Baroni, Lazio is like Real Madrid: they will play their cards which will never be aces of hearts. Just when 40-45 thousand fans had returned to the stadium, here was the usual step back.
In short, there is not a happy atmosphere in Rome compared to the arrival of Marco Baroni but the former Lecce coach is used to working in complicated environments and will certainly be able to find the key to the problem even in the difficult and hot Biancoceleste square.
