In view of the second match of the group of Europa League against the Lokomotiv Mosca, the technician of the Lazio Maurizio Sarri spoke at the press conference: “Everyone can play a game with high motivation, with very high motivation for just a few months, for 10 months only for the winners. For us it is a test: we had a great derby, now we have to show that we are moving forward with high motivations. I ask the team to focus on the challenge with the Locomotive. It is a difficult group, we made a mistake in the first one, tomorrow is delicate and very important for us. Much more difficult than you think. Against a team that I faced two years ago with Juventus, we won but they were two very difficult races in Champions”.
Often he will do some turnover: “If anyone needs rest I don’t know, between this afternoon and tomorrow morning I’ll have clearer ideas. Muriqi? In my opinion he is giving us a hand, he has also seen in the last two games. Muriqi he can play for five minutes, but if he enters with that desire to fight on all the balls, he helps us. He won the decisive penalty with the Torino. If the boy is in the barrel he can have something more, we’ll see. But what we ask him is interpreting it with an uncommon determination ”.
Often he wanted to underline something that bothered him a lot in view of the next championship match: “It must be considered nonsense. There League it took a championship game (Sunday a Bologna at 12.30, ed) 61 hours before the end of the European match. It seems to me something out of this world, but they have decided so and we have to adapt ”.
LAZIO-ROME
Maurizio Sarri he also returned to talk about the derby, replying to the accusations of Mourinho: “My ratings are that Leiva he had suffered and did not do it. And they protest on a penalty that could never be given that Zaniolo was offside. Then I think the penalty for the Roma only the referee and Var have seen him, I have reviewed the images for a couple of days and have not noticed the contact, indeed if there is, it is from Zaniolo that hits First Akpro. But I’m not interested in talking about the match with la anymore Roma, we have made the points, now we have to think only about tomorrow. Otherwise in these clubs the season ends in the two derbies and it doesn’t have to be like that. We understand its importance for the fans, but now we have an important match at European level ”.
In the end, Often closed talking about the unwelcome substitution a Luis Alberto during Lazio-Rome: “I don’t care if I’m not calm after the change, on the contrary I am pleased. I am worried about a player who accepts the substitution in a passive way. If one is angry it gives a positive signal. I don’t like to think about the percentages of how he is expressing himself, for me he is a great player with a lot of room for improvement, I will always expect more from Luis Alberto as he will do by himself ”.
