“We must regain enthusiasm,” says Baroni – Sports

“We must regain enthusiasm and we will achieve it when we get some players back,” summarized Marco Baroni after Lazio’s one-goal draw against Como at the Olympic Stadium that launched the twentieth round and the second round of the Italian championship.
A Lazio that collected just five points in its last five games and that today had some surprises against a rival that encouraged it and exposed some of its shortcomings even when the victory was within reach of both teams.
“Today, in moments of difficulty, I have seen men,” said Baroni, referring not only to the absences due to injury or suspension in his squad, which played for more than half an hour with one man less due to the expulsion of Frenchman Loum Tchaouna for double warning.
“It wasn’t easy with so many casualties, but after what I saw today I have more confidence than before because I know that this team never gives up and because the boys gave everything on the field,” was the coach’s assessment.
“It’s a shame, anyway, because the three points could have been at home because even when we were ten players left we had chances to finish the game against an opponent who also had theirs,” he acknowledged.
Contrary to what one might think, his Spanish colleague Cesc Fabregas did not seem satisfied with the point achieved in a terrain that was difficult for anyone and stated: “I’m leaving upset because today we lost two points.”
In any case, the Como coach said he was “proud of how the team approached the game because it is a young team that is taking steps in the right direction and because for many of the players this was the first game at the Olympic Stadium.”
Fabregas regretted the premature loss of the Spanish-Argentine Nico Paz, who left the field at 20′ due to an ankle injury resulting from a foul and at moments in which he had become the playmaker in the visiting team’s offense. .
“His ankle is very swollen. We will see how we will recover it,” Fabregas said in this regard, acknowledging that his team “lacked the maturity to translate the goal into the attacking plays it generated in the game” and that is why “we had some surprises in the end with Lazio’s counterattacks”.
Even though he acknowledged that in football “results rule,” he stressed that he feels “satisfied to coach a team that plays football the way I like and that also allows me to continue growing. I feel lucky to coach this team.” group,” he concluded.
