L’Italy Lazio does not go beyond 0-0 againstUdinese. In front of the 45,000 at the Olimpico, the biancocelesti-blues, given the 7 Italians on the pitch from the start, they stop after 4 consecutive victories in Serie A, but keep the clean sheet again for the 4th game in a row: now Sarri’s is the best defense in the league with only 5 goals conceded (second at Atalanta to 6).
The Lazio greeted the Olimpico to the convinced applause of all the fans, satisfied as on Thursday with the performance of the most Italian team in the league. Yesterday in the starting lineup there were 7 Italians: Provedel between the posts, 3/4 of the defense with Lazzari, Casale and Romagnoli, then Cataldi in the middle of the field e Zaccagni with Propertycame out with an injury in the half hour, in attack. On the other hand, in the opposite half, there were two at the kick-off: Udogie and goalkeeper Silvestri. In short, yesterday at the Olimpico there was a clash between two clubs with philosophy opposite: on the one hand Lazio which, especially pushed by Sarri, has decided to invest and focus on Italians, while Udinese has been fishing from abroad for years (often with excellent results).
Who knows if Sarri in choosing the formation he heard yesterday the words of Nedvedthan speaking of the difficulties of Juve (minus -5 points from Lazio) he stressed the lack of an Italian hard core: “When there was a group of very strong Italian players it was much simpler, now there are 1-2”. A blue skeleton that is instead present in the Laziogrown exponentially in terms of character, attitude. “Now the team has a soul”, Sarri had ruled Thursday. An all-Italian soul, like no other in the noble areas of the ranking has.
