ROME (ITALPRESS) – “You live for these matches, they are wonderful because there is all the passion inside. We must approach this match with all the joy that there must be in playing a game like this. These are matches that have within them the passion of a city and the two fans.” These are the words of Lazio coach Marco Baroni ahead of his first derby in the capital. “The derby is the derby, it is not a match like any other. In the last five games the teams have scored the same points and since Ranieri’s arrival Roma have scored twice as much,” the biancoceleste coach continued. So, it will be a balanced challenge, against a dangerous team and, for this very reason, even more beautiful. We are aware of the difficulty of this match, but we have to play as Lazio and we will.” From Ranieri nice words for the biancocelesti and the coach himself. “I know Ranieri well, in Naples he was my coach even if only for a few months,” Baroni thanked. “He is a wonderful person, a coach who has done important things and I am pleased that he says good things about the team. However, the derby is a different game, we are aware of the difficulty but we have studied Roma, which is a quality team.” Regarding the injured, “Lazzari and Noslin are to be evaluated, let’s see if we can have them available. On Dia, I can say that he is doing very well. I still have doubts about the lineup, precisely because I see that the guys are training very well; everyone wants to be on the field and that is the most important thing. Clearly from players like him you always want goals, but even against Atalanta he came in very well. He is a very important player for us and he will be again on Sunday,” Baroni concluded.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
