Basic: "I Know Marseille Well, Tomorrow Will Be A Very Difficult Race, But We Are Ready Both Mentally And Physically."

On the night before the Europa League Olympique Marseille-Lazio match, the biancoceleste midfielder Toma Basic spoke at a press conference.

"I have been with Lazio for two months, the sensations are good as if I had been here for years.  I know Marseille well, we drew with Bordeaux.  Tomorrow will be a very difficult race, but we are ready both mentally and physically."

"I would have liked the fans to be there, but I don't think I can comment on the French authorities' provision.  I chose Lazio because they are a great team;  it's a step forward in my career.  The Italian championship is better than the French one, I'm here to improve and learn.  I am inspired by many players, if I have to choose one I say De Bruyne."

"Sarri is a very tactical coach, but I got in very well and I think I understand what he wants from his players on the pitch.  Milik is a good player, but we need to focus on the collective.  Tomorrow we will focus on Marseille in general, not on individuals."
