Lazio-Sassuolo, Sarri asks for a change of pace

“Yes, the derby has left some slag. We will have to be good at transforming them into positive energy against one of the strongest teams in Italy ”. Maurizio Sarri does not hide, the flop in the derby is even more alive than ever in Formello and the opponent who arrives tomorrow at the Olimpico, Sassuolo, is not ideal to turn the page. “I’m still very pissed (textual, ed) with the players for how they faced the match against Roma. But I am equally with myself. The day before the match against Roma I had the feeling that the position was not the right one, I tried to intervene, but without obtaining results “. But now there is a championship final to face in the best way. “I expect a change of pace not only from the point of view of results, but also from the point of view of the game”. With Roma, moreover, Lazio has seen itself again and is suddenly the victim of its usual blackouts. “Lately the team hasn’t been giving any more signals of this kind. It happened again on the least opportune day. It is not easy to understand the reason for this situation, I don’t know if it depends on the characteristics of the players. Surely we will have to make sure that certain things do not happen again ”.

He is becoming the scapegoat for this situation and it is not fair. He doesn’t have to take it too much and focus only on Lazio. In his place I would know what to do, but it’s up to him to decide. I am very confident ”. And more generally on the elimination of Italy Sarri says: “I have heard so many wrong things in these days. The problem is that the national team no longer represents our movement because 70% of the players in the league are foreigners. And the problems of our football are much wider. We are 25 years behind the others. It is enough to watch a foreign league match on TV to realize it. Elsewhere there are stadiums and playgrounds that are up to the task, but we don’t. Then when I say that the fields where we play are not good steps for someone who only knows how to complain … ”.
