Castroman remembers the good times: “My Lazio was the Manchester City of today”

In his speech in connection with Radio you arethe former Biancoceleste footballer Lucas Castroman he also spoke about his experience in biancoceleste: “The chorus of the Lazio fans (Village People “Macho Man”, ed.) I still have it in my head, every time I hear it or some Lazio player calls me I get shivers. Playing in that very strong Lazio, with all those Italian champions, with the captains of their respective national teams, was an incredible pride. It was the Manchester City of today, I always say that. We could also have won the scudetto after the 2000 one. Many great players from Lazio have become coaches and their children play in Italy. The impression is that I’m getting old (laughs, ed.). I remember playing with Giovanni, Simeone’s son, in their living room when he was a child. It makes an impression and a pleasure, I imagine that the Cholo has a chest thick with pride, as he always was.”

On singles: “Hernan Crespo was undoubtedly one of the strongest strikers. His movements were perfect, I just had to lift my head and reward them. Me, Nedved and Poborsky just had to serve him. The defenders never knew where it was going, but we knew exactly where to put it. I remember the bang of his Ferrari in the Formello garage. We saw Simone Inzaghi’s car above Hernan’s. Unfortunately Simone climbed on top of his car, destroying it. We laughed a lot, Crespo not so much (laughs, ed.). Cars can be repaired, but he could also throw it away and get another one. Nobody got hurt, but it was fun to see Inzaghi inside the car with the Ferrari underneath.”

Baroni’s Lazio: “I know that at the moment they are seventh in the league, I know that they won their first match in Europe, I know the next stages they will have to face. I have acquired my coaching license, I watch matches and let’s see if I can find a good club in the future I didn’t know Castellanos, he didn’t play in Argentina. His name was called up by Argentina and it was a great pleasure to see him in the national team. he just lacked a little confidence. He is still young and can give much more, in Lazio and in the national team.”
