ROME (ITALPRESS) – “The Italian Cup is a competition in which we care about doing well. The team worked with attention and desire. Clearly we have some small defections and some players that we will try to recover in the last session available to us. Then we play against the first in the standings, so we definitely want to do well.” These were the words of Lazio coach Marco Baroni on the eve of the Coppa Italia opener against Napoli. “We have players ready to return. Castrovilli has trained, he is well and can play some minutes. He has given me his availability,” the biancoceleste coach continued. A few players came out with some small problems from the Parma match. Let’s see if we can recover them, even with partial minutage. As for Tavares, he will not be there, however, I am not throwing in the towel for the next one.” As for tomorrow’s opponents, Baroni has only certainties and high esteem: “I am not surprised by what Conte is doing. Napoli deserves first place in the standings but I know Antonio beyond the results. I have been close to him two years, I have seen how he works and I know he is a great coach. I know it will be hard for everyone else, but I am not surprised by that. Behind that ranking is a lot of work. We have to expect a good game. We know that in front of us we have an opponent of the highest level: a solid team that is complicated for everyone to face,” continued the biancoceleste coach. “But precisely because of the great difficulty of the match, it is an even more important test for us, because we want to measure ourselves against this rate of difficulty. It will come out a real, heated match and we hope to bring it on our side,” Baroni concluded.
