First place in the rankings makes my mouth water Lazio who are looking for their 4th win in 4 games in the Europa League against Porto. A match in which coach Marco Baroni will make a very large turnover, with only 3 players confirmed compared to the starting eleven with Cagliari.
Baroni’s words
“We try to field the team that is best also from the point of view of the energy expenditure of the last matches. Following this logic we will play an important, difficult and beautiful match. We are playing against an opponent of the highest international level, for us it is a real test and we have to face it with a high level performance. With these two matches missing to close a cycle of seven matches in 21 days, my attention, that of the technical and medical staff must be aimed at managing these resources”.
The words of Vitor Bruno
“We face an ambitious team with a very clear identity. It has many solutions, there are changes between Serie A and the Europa League, the individual profile changes but not the team concept. This is why they lost only one match in the last nine, then maybe if Vecino plays rather than Rovella it changes something, just like if Zaccagni or Noslin plays. However, we come here to propose our game and we will try to win.”
