The 2024/2025 season officially begins today Laziowith the first day of training in Formello. And at the same time, the new coach Mark Baroni is ready to present himself to the white and blue world. While waiting for the ritual press conference (12pm on the pages of TMW), the first words arrive at Lazio Style Radio: “I’m fine. First day? I couldn’t wait. Beautiful effect, there’s determination, desire, happiness, everything you need to leave. Did you sleep last night? Yes (laughs, ed.). The determination I was talking about makes all of this happen in a much more serene way”.
“Rome the prize or the opportunity? The highest point, no point in hiding it. It was created with work, with awareness, passion, love, determination. When you have in your suitcase, on your path a staff with whom you have worked for a long time, you feel happily aware of a great opportunity but also ready to start working”.
“The first thing I hope to convey to the players? There are some fundamental aspects that can no longer be ignored in football. These are the value aspects, in life you always start from there. Having these values, which then can be traced back to Lazio. I will work hard from this point of view, the team must first of all excite, work intensely. Sunday is our celebration, expressing to people that we don’t play for ourselves but for the fans, for those who watch us. This emotional aspect is that something extra that when you put it on the pitch you have, in fact, something extra that you also need for the result”.
“Bring back some enthusiasm? It’s fundamental, there is no team without its fans. The team must take the first step, create the conditions so that those who see it, realize the passion, the culture. I find a team that has a great work culture, if we add to this the value, emotional part, this mix will be useful for the results, to give that emotion that the fans want to see”.
