In the words Maurizio Sarri, the importance of tomorrow night's game "speaks for itself." That's what the coach told invited journalists today on the eve of the game against the Biancocelesti.
"Lazio have had a great season, proving to be an excellent team. They are able to regroup, even if they are going through a difficult spell at the moment. We have suffered against them this year."
Of course Sarri understands that the focus needs to be on his team: "We must worry about being solid and playing with continuity, this is what we are thinking about. It's not important who plays, but rather the work that can be done as a team."
CURRENT PROGRESS
"We've come up against teams that are in great form, that are capable of maintaining a very high level of organisation and their results reflect that. It must also be said that many teams right now also struggle to hold onto the game for 90 minutes. We are witnessing many strange matches, which run incomprehensibly, not only in Serie A. It's a difficulty for everyone, this period is an anomaly."
FIGHTING FOR THE TARGETS
The tactician added: "Bentancur, de Ligt and Bonucci are back in the group today after a bit of personalised training. Chiellini has to rest for a few days, but regardless of who takes the field, the importance is on the tasks that need to be done and carrying them out in the best possible way, so that the defensive line is less exposed."
"We don't need to be afraid as the team is used to fighting for these targets, and from this point of view it gives ample guarantees, during the extraordinary nature of this moment."
