Roma-Lazio
LIVE
on the pitch for the 31st matchday of Serie A
The official lineups offer a couple of surprises, especially on the Biancoceleste side.
Luis Alberto
remains out of the starting eleven
, in his place
is Isaksen
who will therefore play behind Immobile, preferred to
Castellanos
.
Tudor
then confirms the three-man defense once again. Usual 4-3-3 for De Rossi who relies on the starting trident made up of
Dybala, Lukaku and El Shaarawy
. The only change compared to the lineup tested in the finishing session is that of
Angelino for Spinazzola
, with the blue player therefore starting from the bench.
THE EVE
"Playing the derby as a coach changes, with my years as a footballer I began to manage it because at the beginning I suffered from it. Today, in fact, I feel calm. The boys are approaching it well, they work hard. Let's try to give balance, it's a game that we load the right amount without going too far".
Daniele De Rossi
said this
in the press conference on the eve of the derby with Lazio. "The derby, if you play it for 20 years in the same place, you can't expect to experience it with only positive memories - he added - Today I think back to the first one played, when Mancini scored a back-heel goal, at the end of the match I was the happiest man in the world. These are things you don't forget." Returning to current events he then explained: "You have to prepare everything, it's not a normal match and with normal consequences. It doesn't have the same stress as Roma-Sassuolo. I was also reading some numbers, 0 goals in the last 3-4 derbies. Even in the boys there is a desire for revenge, but we have to fuel this desire. Then we have to prepare for a football match against a strong team."
Daniele De Rossi
"We will need a right Lazio, with head, heart and legs. It will be a heartfelt match and we will need to go strong, it will also be important for Europe. I have always liked important matches, this one must be prepared in the best possible way. You cannot escape from people's feelings, the derby must give you something more but without making you lose your head. It must be a match with the right antagonism but with respect for the opponents. This for me is the derby." Thus the Biancoceleste coach, Igor Tudor, prepares for his first match against Roma, and speaking of the evidence provided so far by his Lazio team, he underlines how the derby must be "prepared as best as possible, I saw more positive than negative things against Juventus We are on the right path, the players are convinced of what we do, there is only room to improve."
