Liverani: “In Rome it’s not easy to survive the pressure. I really like Baroni”

The double ex Fabio Liveranispoke to the microphones of cityrumors.itto introduce tomorrow’s match between Lazio and Fiorentina, valid for the fifth day of Serie A and scheduled for 12.30 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence. This is his opinion on Cataldi’s farewell: “The situation is different. I believe that his was not a personal choice. But after so many years in a place like Rome, for a Roman, it is not easy to survive the pressure. Tomorrow for him will be a very particular match: he will play trying to demonstrate to those who rejected him, that they made a big mistake” – And on the match with Rovella – “Two different players, but equally strong. For Rovella it must be the season of consecration. He interprets the role differently from Cataldi, but he can guarantee numerous opportunities to the coach”.

About Barons: “I like him a lot, he’s a coach who has grown a lot and deserved this opportunity. He’s a solid coach and the team is already playing good football. It’s clear that the accounts will be done at the end. But it’s not right to pass judgement after four games. Lazio’s objective? It’s difficult to say now: in my opinion there are at least five stronger teams, Inter, Milan, Juve, Napoli and Atalanta, then Roma, at least for the money spent, even if they obviously have problems in Trigoria. Lazio and Fiorentina start behind these for me, but in football anything can happen. Not enough midfielders? If Baroni continues to play with a system that includes two midfielders on the pitch, four could also be fine. Then it will also depend on injuries, suspensions and many other factors”.

About the two teams: “Two teams revolutionized by the market They have changed a lot, but in different ways. Fiorentina has spent more, but changing from Italiano to Palladino will bring more difficulties: at least at the beginning. Lazio has changed a lot, but it gives me the feeling of having started a journey and building a team tailored for its coach. I am convinced that it is the right path. When a club chooses a coach and follows him, for what his ideas are, it has a small advantage. For me Lazio marries the coach’s ideas and is on the right path”.
