Which type of match do you expect to see?

“In my opinion, it will be a compelling meeting, just as the others were. We will find ourselves in front of a high -level team, which, like us, is surprising thanks to better results than last season. However, this is only a partial budget, since we are still far from being able to pursue ambitious objectives. It is essential not to lower the guard. We will have to give the field, adapting to the opponent. Possibility to conquer points.

What does the constant change in training derive from the first eleven?

“The continuous alternation of the players depends on the physical state of the athletes during the week and the opponent that we are going to face. In principle, everyone is able to take the field. We still have the pre-match finish, after which I will make a decision”.

What are Thauvin’s conditions?

“We made a precautionary decision, but there is nothing to worry about. We have spared him a session, since in the last races he has offered excellent performance and needs some time to recover. We expect it to continue to perform well and we hope it will keep this level of play”.

And what about Okoye?

“Okoye is available again and is fine, but the decision is not simple. I reflect every day, since Padelli has played a great game against Parma, contributing decisively to our salvation, while Okoye has not had the opportunity to play recently. I will make a decision directly on Monday”.

How does Lazio change without Castellanos in your opinion?

“We have to focus on our performance. This team has the most goals scored by the successful ones and frequently scores in the last quarter of an hour. It is something we can also see on the field, and have a remarkable individual quality. We have seen it in the Europa League, where they have shown that we have a very high level rose. Therefore, I expect that they take the field with their best training and it will be essential to implement what we have prepared”.

Which team will have to fear more than the other?

“In recent times we have crossed a good time. We are aware of our skills and areas on which we have to concentrate on. On paper, they are favored and they are experiencing an excellent state of form. Furthermore, their cohesion is evident even during the games: they celebrate together when they mark, they support each other and will play in front of their audience”.

Can you bother you that your team is labeled simply as “physics”?

“We want to play intensely, adding a certain physicality, and I think it is normal for the more ‘small’ teams when they compare with the adults. To do it, we need a specific physical condition, and we are working in this direction. This aspect will not change. If we look at the statistics, perhaps we are not the strongest team, but every weekend we face opponents who sprout a lot. Our goal is to improve the understanding among the players. We have a good quality. But it is essential that it is supported by a solid structure “.

Are you also struck by Karlstrom performance?

“I am happy to see how well he has adapted to Serie A. It comes from a high quality championship and already in Poland I had noticed his skills. He is a serious boy, fundamental for his role, since he manages to connect the departments and to guarantee us the necessary stability. We need footballers like him and his purchase was really important, especially after the loss of Walace. It was essential to find an expert player in that position. Convocation for the Swedish national team and have more game opportunities “.

Can Sanchez have the same value as Pedro to Lazio?

“I think I would not make this comparison, they are two players who have their own quality. In their way they can make a difference. They are different players who play a different role”.

Udinese also has excellent resources in its changes, such as Zarraga.

“I agree. It is essential that those who enter the field can have a significant impact, especially when the game seems to go in our favor. We continue to work on this aspect. I cannot mention everyone, but their contribution is essential. I must say that our players are very concentrated and undertake to translate what we are planning in the field. To face a high -level season, we need everyone and I hope they remain in excellent shape. happy to have everyone available “.
