Sarri: "Will I Change The Lineup? Any Coach Has To Do It. We Will Need To Be Careful And Attack With Malignant Intent."

The coach of Lazio, Maurizio Sarri, participated in both the press conference and on the microphones of Sky Sports. As a result, on the eve of the match against AZ Alkmaar, the coach stated: 

"The first leg told us that they are good in certain situations that we have conceded, they will attempt to take advantage of us and we will have to counter them. We will need to be careful and attack with malignant intent."

"In the first leg, we generated numerous opportunities, but there was no malice in front of the goal. Then there was also a lack of concentration in our penalty area, we gave them what they created."

"In the league, we're more attentive and more dedicated. The team may have unconsciously believed they could excel in Serie A instead of Europe, but that's my opinion. This happened to me in Napoli as well, but the players told me, I didn't realize it and it was an unconscious decision. But we can still have a fun game."

"Will I change the lineup? Any coach has to do it, especially when your calendar is set up to play a stupid World Cup. We've been playing every three days since January 4th; it's insane, and football is making it even worse with its rash decisions. I've heard that a 48-team World Cup is being considered. The national teams have annihilated all world competitions, and I believe we need to review everything; otherwise, they're all hypocrites: Lega Serie A posts lists, UEFA posts lists, but then they make us play every three days."

"Will Maximiano play? I'll tell you when I tell the goalkeeper."
