TMW

Among the rumors coming from the EA7 World Legends Padel Tour, currently taking place in Rome, there is also that of the Lazio striker Ciro Immobile. Here are the statements collected by TMW: “Has Lazio changed its trend? In reality, when you change manager there are these emotional sparks that lead you to achieve certain results. We were good at immediately understanding what Tudor was looking for because we went from one extreme to another. Unfortunately when you change the coach and also with such an important name as Sarri, as I have always said for a team it is a big defeat. We were the first to be sorry, but obviously something had broken and therefore we had to change. Then what happened in the following days and what was said over and over again were all normal things that happen when a coach like Sarri leaves. With Tudor we had that shock that allowed us to recover a little in the league, a shame about the Italian Cup because we had played a good match. of an important return journey, we paid for the outward journey.”

We can reassure the fans about your future. “I said it, I have a two-year contract with Lazio and I’m happy with it. My family is happy with it, I don’t see the reason why I have to leave. It’s obvious that after a season like this there are many question marks, especially For my part, there are some criticisms. I played for seven years at an exceptional level and a year of decline and a bit of difficulty in managing the change of coach didn’t help me, being the one who scored the most goals over the years good performance, I paid more for it but it fits.”

What didn’t work in your season? “In reality, when you start badly you start to lose a bit of precision in front of goal which has always distinguished me. When you lose it a bit you find yourself in a tunnel which perhaps I wasn’t used to and which penalized me. But we need to be more balanced when evaluating certain things, one season certainly cannot destroy the good things I have done with this shirt.”

Is there anything that hurt you this season? “What hurt me most of all is the fact that I was credited with having sent Sarri away. More than anything because it affected Ciro as a man and not the player. I never wanted to get into certain issues. , especially with Sarri, a coach as famous as him. I would never have done it with anyone.”

What does the national team mean to you? “The national team has always been an objective, it’s important. It’s obvious that we also need to be rational and truthful in our assessments and after a season like this I certainly don’t expect who knows what. Then if a gift were to arrive I certainly wouldn’t refuse it. Spalletti? Not I spoke to him, those who are well and those who are in better shape must go to the national team, if Spalletti believes he needs players who have more experience and takes me into account, I certainly cannot refuse.”
