Team Status

I expect the team to continue to improve and clean up the flaws that characterized the start of the season. The most obvious ones, in my opinion, are the approach and the decisive moments in their decisive area: we are too soft in our area and a little lacking in the opponent's area. We are taking steps forward in the other 70 meter area.

Is the First Match with Atletico an Advantage?

I do not completely agree, because our team has been lacking even in the last games. We did not allow dozens of plays or counter-attacks to the opponents. What I feel sorry for are goals conceded in easily preventable situations. We play against Atletico tomorrow and we need to get a result, I don't know if it's the best time to face them.

Diego Simeone

I said at a press conference in Plapoli that the way I saw football was different, but I had great respect for Simeone. He did a good job in Spain and Europe, the way he played, I express my respect again.

Team Status

We have a style of play, last game didn't start in the best way, it went badly quickly. Beyond not playing a good game, we didn't start well and couldn't improve. We played a bad game and a new game is coming. The Champions League is coming, a competition that is very difficult for us. We face this with enthusiasm and as an extraordinary challenge.

Lazio

I've always loved Sarri's game, I've always followed him. I was also inspired by him to improve my team. Lazio defends well, they are looking for numerical superiority and they have dangerous players. They are a team that knows what they want, we will try to hurt them. They lost to Juventus, but we saw their true situation in the win over Napoli.
