The Olimpico pitch and Castellanos
“The many long throws? Olympic pitch effect. I always tell him to play from goal kicks. Then sometimes the boys come back and tell me it’s unplayable. Last year the pitch was good in this period. Castellanos suffers from the fact not to score. I spoke to him yesterday, he told me that he isn’t scoring goals and this is the reason for his nervous entrance onto the pitch. Injuries? Isaksen left due to an injury. Patric has stiffness in his calf. The doctors’ first impression is that they are not injuries, they should be recoverable quickly. The others are recovering: Zaccagni took part in training with us this morning. It should be recoverable for a piece of homeland. Casale should be in the group tomorrow, Romagnoli is not. Luis Alberto the tests have ruled out injuries.”

Sarri and the importance of the derby
“Here at Lazio the benches you remember are when you win derbies, it’s more important than victories and matches in the Champions League. Rovella? He can grow a lot, he goes to get the ball too often and is often forced to play it behind and horizontally. He must verticalize more, he must learn to open up. The problem with Cagliari’s dribbling is the lack of verticalisation.”

Sarri’s conference: the words
“We had several opportunities to close out the match. Good match on a tactical level, as it was against Caglairi. Faster ball movement tonight, therefore a livelier match than against Cagliari. We were more brilliant at the dribbling level. The positive aspect is the newfound solidity, the negative aspect is that you don’t close the games. The line is moving well, seems to me to be well supported by a midfield that has grown a lot in terms of bans. Team in clear growth. We need to find the offensive phase that we are missing. The percentage between realization and opportunity is no longer what it was last year.”

Felipe Anderson doesn’t go, Sarri thinks so
“I think he has never been constant. Last year he had a long positive period. He is a cross and a delight, now we are in the period of the cross. Is the performance due to the expiring contract? He is an extremely sensitive boy, but I don’t think it is in these material aspects. I don’t know, knowing him I would say no.”

Sarri and the rediscovered defense
“Behind the defensive line we did well considering the absences. We finished the match with Marusic as central defender for the first time in three years. I’m very happy with the attitude of the defense but also with that of the team.”

The Vecino issue, Sarri speaks
“There’s nothing to clarify, it’s not even a very sensational locker room situation. The club has thus decided in agreement with me to keep him out, we’ll see what happens, we’ll talk about it again in a few days”. Here are the details of the Vecino case.

Sarri applauds Guendouzi
“Guendouzi is a boy with great energy and personality, he likes challenges. He is well and produces quality and quantity. Already in the Premier League he had impressed me with the energy he showed.”
23:34
Sarri’s first words
“The team played a good match against Cagliari, and it wasn’t easy. I watched the match again, I think so. I have been in Rome for 3 years and Lazio is in crisis every time. In the last week we won 3 games. There is a responsibility not to close the game, yes.”
23:15
Pellegrini’s words
Excellent game from Luca Pellegrini, author of the assist for Guendouzi. At Mediaset he sent messages to Maurizio Sarri. Here are all his words.
