Marco Baroni, coach of Laziospoke thus to Sky Sports before the home match against Cagliari: “I collect the award (best coach of October in Serie A, ed.) but it belongs to the team and my staff. It’s clear that expectations are rising, but this also makes us happy. We have to manage, through attitudes and performance, determination and hunger, without looking at what has been done but at what needs to be done. The strong reminder that I made to the team today is in this direction.”
Do you fear a particularly defensive Cagliari? How to unhinge it, if necessary?
“We know that the match will certainly be complicated and difficult, Cagliari is a solid team. They have a good and experienced coach who knows how to prepare these matches well, we must have desire and attention, clarity, because these are matches that are played within 100 minutes with these prerogatives. The team must face this match at its maximum performance level.”
