Sarri: 'Difficult but not impossible with Porto'

"Porto are a strong team that would also be competitive in Italy. The first leg match told us that it is very difficult but not impossible."

So Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri on the eve of the return of the Europa League playoffs against Porto tomorrow at the Olimpico.

A challenge that anticipates the big match of the Olimpico against Napoli by three days, even if Sarri specifies: "Calculations? No, it's an important match, let's go our own way. I don't like making calculations", the Tuscan coach urges. that on the returns of Immobile and Acerbi clarifies: "Acerbi was stopped for 45 days, he recovered from a medical point of view but clearly he is not at his best. We will see if there will be a need to take him to the bench but at the moment he is not in a condition of play from the start.

Ciro stopped for only 7 days, let's see how he is in today's training and then we'll decide.

They are games in which it is necessary to have great mental clarity.

The first is defensive clarity, otherwise we compromise the game.

We have the quality to change the game at any time. "
