Sarri: Inter and Napoli strongest, tough match for Lazio | OneFootball

The coach of the Biancocelesti, Maurizio Sarri, spoke to the club's official microphones on the eve of the match against Inter. Here are his words.

Lazio, Sarri: “Romagnoli trained quite well, tomorrow we'll see with the doctor if we can use him”

The former Napoli and Juve coach spoke at a press conference on the eve of the big match against Christian Chivu's team. Here are his words reported by Tmw:

On the match

“It is obvious that Inter, along with Napoli, has the strongest squad in the league, having reached two Champions League finals in the last three years, and even in Europe, there are few teams stronger than Inter. It's a very difficult match, unfortunately, in recent years the gap with these teams has widened. We must look at the opportunity this match offers us, which will be very tough. It will be difficult even if we perform at our highest levels, but there is an opportunity.”

On Romagnoli

“Romagnoli trained quite well today, but tomorrow morning we'll see how he wakes up and decide with the doctor.”

On Dia

“I've seen Dia is heavily criticized, I can't jump on criticizing a player who gives two matches without lacking anything for the team. This is a merit, then it's clear that from a forward, you expect 2-3 shots per game, but in other aspects, he doesn't lack anything. It's something to appreciate, then we hope he grows because he has the qualities to do much better even in the offensive phase.”

On Noslin

“With Noslin, we'll see, he's a player not structured because it's difficult to understand what the ideal solution for him might be. He has many characteristics of a winger, some of a second striker, he's not easy to classify, but if we continue to miss 7-8 players per match, Noslin's time will come.”

On Chivu

“They are difficult coaches to evaluate over three months, he is an impactful coach and has the characteristics to become a high-level coach. I prefer the path of those who play 100 matches even in Serie A but on a lower-level bench. In terms of personality, he made a great impression on me.”

On the squad

“We'll see, because being tough for a month is possible for everyone, for six months it's complicated, and for eleven only the strongest can manage. These are premature considerations, six matches represent 5% of a championship, it's too little to say if we are a stronger squad than everyone thinks. The initial consideration was that Lazio was out of Europe and that many teams behind us had strengthened significantly. The risk was to find ourselves in a very low position in the standings, now we will have to see if we can carry this growth through to the end.”

On Provstgaard

“He has important qualities and fierce application, the potential he has has only been partially realized. With that mindset and character, he will bring out all his potential, he will become an important player in Serie A.”

On renewals

“If the club tells me if the market is open or not, then the renewals will be done. Call the president and ask. There are many players close to expiration who should be renewed, unless the club has a hundred million to spend on buying other players. For the rest, talk to Fabiani.”

On Isaksen

“In the last three matches, we have seen two high-level versions against Juventus and Cagliari, in between there was a small misstep with Pisa which is part of this boy's growth. Now we expect more consistent growth, he has potential and we'll see if he can fully realize it.”
