23.43 – Marco Baroni’s press conference has begun
How much did you like the reaction after conceding the goal?
“I must congratulate the team again, when matches like this come, it matters a lot how you get there and the path you’ve taken. Today I asked for a match of personality and joy, we needed this and believe me we played against a great opponent, who has quality and verticality, they are always sharp in going vertical. Congratulations to the boys and the environment, in the end there was a beautiful climate.”
Lazio had never scored so much in the last fifteen minutes. Does this Lazio never die?
“We always believe in it, we owe it to ourselves and we owe it to the people. You have to play to win games, I know very well that difficult moments will come but if you have created a strong identity you can overcome these difficulties. I read that since 2018 City have not lost three consecutive games, it happens to big teams but it depends on the mentality you create. I would hardly bring in a defender to bring home a result, I wouldn’t be consistent with the proposal we present in training and I wouldn’t be credible.”
How are you experiencing these five months in the Lazio world? What notes do you take during conferences?
“I write something to myself between the first and second half, then I talk to the collaborators and we try to see the things that aren’t working to understand how to improve. I wrote to myself because Nuno was there who is a very sensitive boy, I also hear the conferences from him because communication is part of our job, both with journalists and with the team. I am in this adventure with everything, it is part of my character. I had the best chance of my life. I recently moved home but I often stay in Formello. I want to give my all, when I said that this team doesn’t let me sleep at night because it stimulates me, then I sleep little but I see the participation I asked for, the proposal we presented from day one talking about the football we wanted to play, the team believes in it and we have to go strong.”
Do you see the guys in the locker room with a different look after a victory against an opponent like that? How are Castrovilli and Patric?
“There is a press release on Castro, we will lose him for a few weeks. I think Patric has an inflammation but I am very confident about his presence in Monza. When I returned to the changing rooms the first thing I said to the staff which for me is the second team is that we have to work because we have little time to recover everyone, we have to recover from the fatigue and work on recovery. The coach works a lot and is happy little, we are at the sixth match in nineteen days, I have little time but he makes me nice to see the boys rejoice. I let them do it because they are professionals, they know how to behave and know how to manage themselves. I talk a lot about balance because it is my responsibility to bring balance to the team We didn’t have to wait for this match to understand that we are a great team, the first twenty minutes in Turin against Juve are a great team. Then with the expulsion everything changed, but I am convinced that with equal numbers it would have been another match and even in the difficulties we played very well in the game.”
Is he angry with himself for the timing of the changes? Does the team find its balance with the 4-3-3?
“We work for the 4-2-3-1 but as I have always told you the frame with the double winger and the striker will never be touched. We can work with a high top or a low top. On the substitutions, yes, I have pissed off, these are moments that make the difference. Tchaouna played a great game but they pinched us a couple of times there on the left, unfortunately I can’t call a timeout and I had to wait to make the substitutions. Certainly after the substitution and the entry of Rovella gave us balance, resources had also decreased and this is why changes were needed.”
