Lazio, Sarri: We must reset, no use making excuses | OneFootball

A few days before Lazio's Coppa Italia match, where they will face reigning champions Bologna in the round of 16, the coach of the Biancocelesti, Maurizio Sarri, spoke to the microphones of SportMediaset.

Lazio, Sarri on Mediaset: “We need to reset everything, no point in making excuses”

These are the words of the former Napoli coach to the national television broadcaster: “We need to reset everything and focus on the next match, without making excuses about refereeing. Rather, a suggestion comes to mind: let's place the VAR stations on the opposite side of the benches. The referee needs to make decisions in a different calmness than what I've seen. Revenge? We need to play for our goals, we need everything but a nervous match. We did very well in the first half, after the goal we faltered. At this stage, playing three matches a week is a problem, but we will make a sacrifice and give it our all, without being influenced. We're talking about players who have been inactive for 50 days (Castellanos, ed.), it's a difficult transitional phase, it will be a match where the five substitutions can be used up quickly. This season we have no ambitions in the standings, we need to be honest: it will serve us to grow and create a base that we will try to improve to be competitive.

If we do for 90 minutes what we did in the first half, that's fine, we can't think of nullifying Milan's threat, an opponent that can score in many ways. The Coppa Italia? As you know, it's a format I don't like, we'll play round by round without making long-term plans. Lazio's market? We'll have to see if in January it will be zero, if it will be free, if there will even be a market. For us, June's market will be decisive. I've said what I think might be lacking in terms of roles and quality, then identifying the names is the club's job. It's pointless to say what we lack because I would have to say which player needs to leave: but at this moment we can't do without anyone, let's leave aside these things that can only harm us.”
