Is Ndombele recovered? How are the others?
“Yes, he left with us and is here. However, there is no news for the other injured people.”
A week at high altitude with matches against Lazio and PSG. Are you ready?
“For a few days we have risen to altitude, we have already faced Real Sociedad and Lens. Our journey at high altitude began a while ago, we are ready and with these teams we are obliged to be ready”
Have you had the opportunity to watch Lazio’s recent matches? What do you think of the new formula?
“I saw Lazio’s latest matches, the ones against Torino and Fiorentina plus the Europa League match. I know their qualities and the good moment they are having. The new formula allows us to compete with eight different types of football compared to before, This is interesting.”
You are an offensive team and Lazio is suffering on a defensive level, have you prepared any particular situations for tomorrow?
“We are definitely an offensive team, we scored eight goals in one game. Lazio don’t concede many shots, this has also been seen with the results at the start of the championship, we have certainly prepared something to put them in difficulty.”
Lazio has changed a lot between the championship and Europe, are you still expecting these changes?
“If Lazio changes their squad it’s because they can afford it, the results come and they have the same problem as us of playing every 3-4 days. We can expect anything regarding the game system, Real Sociedad has changed tactically compared to what we expect we were waiting.”
Guendouzi spoke about you today, recalling your time in Lorient, how do you judge your growth? How is Lazio ranked among the eight opponents you will face?
“If we compare it to the eight that we will meet, it is certainly among the best with Real Sociedad, Lazio is among the best that we will meet. I know Matteo well, he was 16-17 years old at Lorient and I am happy to embrace him again. I also met him when we played against Marseille and it will be a pleasure to find him again tomorrow evening.”
Do you see any progress in the character of the team?
“Already against Saint-Etienne we were formidable in attack, against Real Sociedad we played a complete game while against Lens we suffered too much, I always prefer to suffer less, especially in the first half hour we risked too much.”
What atmosphere do you expect from the stadium? Can the athletics track affect the atmosphere?
“The track or not doesn’t change the match, I’m happy to be here playing this Europa League match, it will definitely be a good and intense match.”
Will it be difficult to manage the fourth race in a few days? What do Lazio and Nice represent for Italian and French football?
“I have already played 20 players and 18 different starters, there will be changes tomorrow and also for Sunday. Many players have moved from the French league and are now at Lazio, football is now international and many can make a difference.”
Is there a particular Lazio player who impressed you?
“Many players are dangerous, but among all of them I would say Dia, I saw him play taller and he also made the difference playing between the lines.”
How important will the next matches against Lazio and Paris SG be? How will the team change?
“We will have to defend ourselves lower and increase the intensity of the pressing, we must act like musicians in an orchestra who have to learn to know each other. This week’s test came early in the season, but we will be ready.”
