After beating Genoa, Como and Cagliari, the Lazio also wins at Monza and wins the fourth consecutive victory in the championship. The super goal decided everything Mattia Zaccagni a few moments before the break. A perfect, powerful and precise left-footed shot that beats Turati and launches his team even higher in the standings. Which drops a bit in the second half, but other than conceding a series of corners to Monza it doesn’t even suffer that much. The coach’s analysis in the post-match press conference Marco Baroni.
8.55pm – The press conference begins Marco Baroni
Baroni, is this a Lazio that also knows how to win with its heart and also knows how to suffer?
“We are a group that wants to do well, we put intensity into it to play a great match. This type of match was needed, because we have seen all Monza’s matches and it is a team that has also put Atalanta and Milan in difficulty. For But Lazio proved to be mature, it wasn’t easy at all here. We even had two or three opportunities in which we could have scored but Turati was good. The victory for me is extraordinary, also for how Lazio managed this match.” .
Why did you change formation playing with 4-3-3?
“Because we needed more dribbling in the middle of the pitch and I needed a low top who could also work with the full-backs to maintain their quarters and contain the two attacking midfielders. For me, Lazio was a great team because it wasn’t easy to face Monza. I looked at the ranking, I’m clearly happy especially with our enthusiasm. We want to increase their passion, we can also lose in the future. It can never happen.
Was it a merit to have been able to play a dirty game? Is there his work behind the best Pedro?
“I say that he is a great champion, if he is physically well he is formidable. He has an incredible sense of belonging, he has played with champions but he always makes himself available to everyone. When there are players like this in a team everything becomes more simple. Even in Turin against Juventus we managed to play even alternating other characteristics, since that match I must say that we have grown.”
Is Rovella one of the players who can carve out an important space for himself in the national team too?
“I have always tried to get the most out of everyone by trying to make the most of them. He can also play at the top, because he is mobile and knows how to play both short and long. He can play as a midfielder, even as a midfielder who throws himself and goes inside. For I’m an all-rounder as they say. I’m lucky that there are guys of the highest level like Rovella and others.”
