Baroni: “My Lazio gave everything and deserved to win, but sometimes you need luck”

At Romagnoli’s goal Marco Baroni crosses his exultation with that of Luca Pellegrini who has just unleashed the cross to bring Lazio to the advantage. A scene that remains in its intensity even if the Roma equalized and fades the Lazio plan of the three points. But the strength of those moments goes beyond the misunderstandings and tensions between the technician and the defender who led to the exclusion of the same player (also a biancoceleste fan and former yellow and red) in early February from the list for the championship (then reinstated) and for UEFA. In that image there was all the desire for Lazio to get to the success in the derby to climb even more in the standings and also to redeem the bitterness of the terrible KO in the first leg. “The team has spent everything and gave everything, creating important opportunities -said Marco Baroni in the after game -. Sometimes you need a pinch of luck that we did not have. Given the trend we deserved the victory: Roma did not create much. We take the same because the team gave everything in front of a fantastic audience. Too bad”. The biancoceleste coach and the management of replacements. “Cambi late? I think we were doing well and keeping the field well. We should have kept the ball more, but the team never lost the balance.” Baroni’s thoughts also vain on the return of the quarter -to -the -wrapping quarters against Bodo. “For Thursday I asked the guys to believe it. We need this energy, even that of the public. We believe in the passage of the round. The performance and help of our wonderful fans will be important. We faced the worst game possible, on a synthetic field, against a team to the second day of the championship. They have an incredible intensity. But at the Olimpico it will be another story. It is growing, it has energy and we want to be the protagonists to the end, through the game and in my opinion we will do it ”.
