The Lazio coach Marco Baroni spoke to the microphones of Skyafter the away match won 1-2 on the Lecce pitch.
Too much suffering to achieve victory?
“Complicated match, they bothered us by verticalizing and attacking the ball. The team knew this and brought in as much quality as possible. In the second half we crossed a lot, we needed more quality. In 58 days this team had 10 wins and 2 defeats You bring these matches home with consistency and by not leaving the match: congratulations to the boys.”
Lots of crosses, but a few too many touches?
“The team was a little less brilliant, in the locker room I said that right now it's important to recover our energy. We have a lot of games ahead of us, this leads us to be dirtier. In the second half I changed a bit, they had the lines close The team believed in it, we conceded a goal on the first shot. I told them at half-time to stay clear and the team found a game of mentality and conviction.”
Will he enjoy his start to the season at Christmas?
“I go to my family, I take a break too. We are a group that works and gets along well together. There are many commitments and many travels, Dia and Castellanos are paying for the call-ups to the national team and the long journeys. The team, however, has the ability to alternate, thus managing to make up for it.”
Could you have done better in the final on Rebic's ball?
“I agree, but at that moment we had Romagnoli who had just made a tackle and Noslin who was practically stationary. We had to bring more pressure, we could manage better and on that ball we did well.”
