He doesn’t want to do calculations Marco Baroniwants to play all his cards at Maradona against Napoli. After seeing on Thursday in the Italian Cup that his Lazio can be among the greats, this evening against the league leaders he wants to measure his team’s ambitions and wants to do it with all the weapons at his disposal. The good news that has arrived in Formello in recent days is given by the double recovery of Boulaye Dia and Nuno Tavares, who however seemed destined for the bench. None of this, Baroni wants them on the pitch immediately to play to the best of his possibilities, both the Senegalese and the Portuguese will play from the first minute with only two training sessions on their legs with the rest of their teammates. A strong signal that the Biancoceleste coach wants to send before the match, an ambitious signal that follows the push that came from the many fans present yesterday at Termini station to support the team.
Lazio, no management for injured players
More careful management was expected especially for Nuno Tavaresrecovering from a muscle injury in just over two weeks. The Portuguese has an important injury history, but Baroni knows how much of a difference a positive result this evening at Maradona can make and wants to take the risk. Slightly different story for Dia, kept in the box by a sprained ankle suffered against Ludogorets ten days ago. Much lower recovery times and risks of a relapse had already made people think since Friday that the former Salernitana player could play from the first minute, the confirmation came directly from yesterday’s finishing. Dia will act behind Castellanos, with Isaksen on the right and Zaccagni on the left to complete the offensive quartet. The midfield hinge will be made up of the tireless Guendouzi and Dele-Bashiru, confirmed after Thursday’s good performance in the Italian Cup. In front of Provedel, the four-man line will be made up of Tavares on the left, Lazzari on the right and the central pair with Gila and Romagnoli.
