The Brazilian winger took the floor from the Zandegiacomo sports center before the afternoon training session under the Tre Cime di Lavaredo
On the second day of the retreat in Auronzo di Cadore he spoke Felipe Anderson. The number 7, in his second year under Maurizio Sarri, wants to improve his score by seven goals and eight assists from last season. More than fair numbers for a real untouchable by the Biancoceleste coach, who fielded him 48 times on the pitch last year. A continuity never seen by Anderson, who had played a similar number of games only in the 2015/16 season (47, with 9 goals and 5 assists). For the Pipe this is the sixth retreat in Auronzo di Cadore, eight years after the first one dated 2014, six months after his arrival in the Biancoceleste in January. Already from the first workouts Maurizio Sarri tried to stimulate him, he knows he has a diamond in his hands, albeit still rough despite his 29 years.
Felipe Anderson’s press conference begins at the Zandegiacomo sports center in Auronzo di Cadore. Hi Felipe. How are Lazio and how are you? How does the season start?
“I am very well, I am very motivated and energized. The team is working, these are difficult days but we have in mind the things we learned last year and this helps us.”
You won’t find two compatriots, but Marcos Antonio will be there. Have you talked to him yet?
“It hurts that there are no longer several of my teammates, but we are professionals and we know that this is football. I have already talked to Marcos Antonio, he wants to arrive as soon as possible and assert himself in the new team.”
What are the differences compared to last season?
“As I said, last year there were many new things to learn and it took us a long time to understand. Then you could see the manager’s hand on the team, we have already understood many things that were a bit difficult. Now we are motivated. , we know that if we keep what we have learned and remove some mistakes we can do many things. We haven’t talked about goals yet, the coach told us to go and play against anyone to lead the game. This is what ambitious teams do, we want to win all of them. the possible matches. “
Last year you were among the best in terms of performance and consistency, but there has always been criticism of your continuity. How did you experience all this?
“Surely there will always be criticism, I’m used to it. I look at what I’m doing and my numbers, I’ve always been there and this isn’t easy. will always be.”
Can you make a comparison between Pioli and Sarri? What are the requests of the technicians towards you?
Pioli-Sarri “It’s difficult to compare because when I was here with Pioli I had a different mentality. Many years have passed, the style of play is different because Sarri wants to lead the game. With Pioli we waited a little longer in our half and we could manage our energies. Here, on the other hand, we rest with the ball and it is certainly a different idea of football “
A final remark for the fans with the appointment given at the Stadium.
“I want to thank you for the love I had last year when I returned, you were close to us even when things weren’t going well. All the players and the team will call you to the stadium and we hope to have fun together.”
