On the field at 20.45 Spezia-Lazio
EVE
During the season, Lazio happened to disappoint in the easier games on paper, which often followed important victories.
At Spezia, after the success against Juventus at the Olimpico which consolidated the biancoceleste second place, Maurizio Sarri has no desire to slow down.
That's why in the press conference on the eve of the match he asked for maximum concentration in the match at the Picco: "We will play in a particular stadium, with the fans very close together, on a small pitch, against an aggressive team who have only lost one at home, and who beat Inter between friendly walls," explained the coach.
"It's a match with enormous risks. In matches like tomorrow's, we sometimes made the mistake of being presumptuous and paid for it.
winning tomorrow would make me happy in terms of mentality". Against La Spezia the only absentee will be Vecino ("his knee is bothering him a bit, he will undergo 3-4 days of treatment and then we will see if he can recover"), while Ciro Immobile he'll be on the pitch again from the first minute: "He's been training continuously for two weeks, he can't be at the top but he's growing.
Let's see what it can give us". Sarri does not want to think about the possibility of going to the Champions League ("If we don't participate now, it means that we don't deserve it") and remains focused only on the Liguria match, compared "to a cycling Paris-Roubaix , a race full of features in which anything can happen". The coach then allows himself a judgment on Cataldi ("
to become even better, he lacks a bit of engine capacity in the endgames, but I prefer someone like him who gives everything to those who save money for 70 minutes") and Pedro ("he seems very convinced of staying at Lazio"). the closing of the conference is dedicated to the refereeing of Lazio-Juve: "The worst part is that we left the field with the feeling of having been penalized, but the newspapers seemed to be the opposite" says Sarri, who then rattles off a series of dubious episodes : "Juve's goal was illegal, because Rabiot trampled our goalkeeper.
Furthermore, one of their players should have received 4-5 yellow cards.
Let's talk about the foul on Zaccagni: the start of the impact is on the line, and the line is in the area... But this is a problem with Rocchi, now let's hope that Irrati, who is a good referee,
