Le parole di Baroni nella conferenza stampa alla vigilia di Viktoria Plzen Lazio
“We are approaching this match that we have earned on the field. These are beautiful matches that give prestige to all societies, we face teams with different cultures. We know how difficult this match is, we come from a competition where we spent a lot. However, energy can be found in these matches, the team will give their maximum performance with dedication, desire and determination. We will bring our identity.”
Baroni sul gol di Pedro a Milano
“Pedro’s goal is one of those things that leaves so much behind, regardless of the goal there is merit from the team in that situation. We played with personality, there is a lot of Lazio in Milan’s difficulties on Sunday. I had told the boys to interpret the first half in the best possible way, the game gave us so much from the point of view of desire and determination.”
Baroni sul giocare partite a eliminazione diretta
“Not much changes, we feel the responsibility but they are part of our job. We know that these are matches you can’t make mistakes, we are aware of that. The team will not make a mistake performance, even though we had little time to prepare the match we know what we have to do. This is a difficult field, Viktoria put everyone in trouble here. We will need the best Lazio.”
Baroni sulla Lazio in emergenza e sul capitano
“Here we play like there’s no tomorrow, we can’t make any calculations. The importance of the match obliges us to do so, we cannot make mistakes. We have some defections, but I count on the players who left with us. We are here to play an important game, we know the difficulties we will find in this match. We cannot make any mistakes, we have recovered and it will take a lot of dedication. Inside the sacrifice then you find the answers we need. I have situations still to evaluate, including the choice of captain. Romagnoli should be back, but we’ll see because we’ve done training and left immediately. I want to talk to someone to see how the team is, we won’t miss a game tomorrow. That’s for sure.”
Baroni sul fare calcoli in vista del ritorno
“We know that the return challenge will be daughter to this one, certainly we will have to play intelligently but within our competition. We cannot play games that are different from what our identity is, there we find the important and thick performance.”
Baroni sul Viktoria Plzen
What do you expect from Viktoria Plzen? How are Castellanos, Hysaj and Dele-Bashiru? “We have seen and seen Viktoria again, there will be difficulties on the pitch because they play aggressive, running soccer. They are good at verticalizing, they have physicality and the team is aware of the difficulties we will face. We will have to play a fair game mentally and physically.”
Baroni sugli infortunati
“Castellanos and Dele could return before the break, Hysaj could not because the route should be different and return immediately after the break.”
Baroni sul centrocampo a 3 e su Zaccagni
“Mattia is recoverable for Monday’s game, the exams came back negative but we preferred not to risk it together with the player. I have said several times that Vecino is an important player like others, in the interpretation of the role he can rotate. I do not want to give up the construction with two middies, we do it so well given the work of Guendouzi and Rovella who are doing an extraordinary championship. We came out of that system because in my opinion we have players with characteristics to play between the lines, the team has offensive capacity to create so much, and Vecino can interpret the role both as a halfback and as a trequartista. That’s why I was talking about his importance, he has this ability to interpret the role. With him on the field we have this solution.”
Baroni sula partita e sui portieri
“We cannot manage, we have to start strong from the first to the hundredth minute because these are matches in which we have to go strong. We have to stay inside the game, management is part of the game because you have to interpret the moments, but don’t do management because it’s not in our characteristics. There is no cup goalkeeper, I have shared a path made with both goalkeepers and when there was a need to rest Provedel did it, then he took his place back. Mandas is doing great, he never makes mistakes. Tomorrow I will make assessments according to this also because Provedel is the starter.”
