Alberto Malesanithrough the Gazzetta dello Sportspoke about Lazio’s start to the season Marco Baronihis former deputy at Verona in 2002-2003: “What he is doing in Rome is absolutely no surprise to me.”
But do you see yourself in him, in his ultra-offensive football?
“I’m pleased that he plays like this, but making comparisons would be reductive for Marco. Every coach has his own peculiarities, there may be similarities, but then everyone has their own path.”
Is it possible that he had to wait so long for an important bench?
“The big clubs focus on those who have already won. But if a coach is good, he is good in all categories. Before hiring them, the clubs should carefully follow the coaches as they do with the players. If they had done so, Baroni would have arrived first in a big one”.
His best skill?
“He has many, but I am convinced that the most important one is the ability to always maintain the right balance. This is fundamental especially in the relationship with the players.”
