ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “It’s not a game that makes me change my mind about a season, we talk about a competition that at most lasts five games, it’s not indicative. The season must be evaluated as a whole.” This was stated by the Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri, in a press conference on the eve of the semifinals of return of Coppa Italia against the Atalanta, removing the definition of “saving-season party”, branding it as “typically journalistic definition”.
There are many doubts about training, since there are still many players who choose white in no optimal conditions: “There are so many evaluations because we have four/five players who are almost clinically healed, but for full agonistic efficiency it takes another twenty days. So we know that they can only guarantee a certain minutage.”.
Among these is Maldini: “It has a chronic tendinopathy, with moments in which it is better and others in which inflammation returns to be invalidating. He can play tomorrow, but I don’t know how many minutes.”
Also on the central theme, Sarri explains that Noslin “is fine, with Naples he took a few blows but is normal. Dia is quite well, it is at a time when it seems to me to be focused.”.
In the same speech comes Basic (“with Fiorentina struggled, in Naples much less. It seems in positive evolution but I don’t know how many minutes it has”), while Marusic “has trained for the first time with us. It’s worth considering, but I can’t risk five players. In the training tomorrow morning we will go to ask him and then we will make a decision. Dubbio Cancellieri-Isaksen? The choice on them I have always made it at the moment. Now Matteo has a good time, Gustav has suffered a lot from the elimination of Denmark from the worlds from the mental point of view but now he is rekindling,” added Sarri closing the chapter on the individuals.
The technician also commented on the hug of the fans, present in Formello for the first part of sitting open to the public: “It was a good morning, we were pleased. Now we would like to find them at the stadium because they were hard months.”
Speaking of the field, Sarri underlined that “this group this year had 52 injuries, in some games suffered obvious unfavorable arbitral episodes and in the house is playing without public; I don’t know how many points we may have taken away all this. Then surely it is a group that can do something more, to get to become competitive at maximum levels it is to be integrated. The positive moment? This team did a year without winning two games in a row, never had this positive inertia. The lack of continuity has always been a problem, now the results arrive but I do not know if this defect has been resolved,” Sarri concluded.
