Lazio Coach Maurizio Sarri Speaks Out on Team Downsizing and Player Dynamics
Following a goalless draw in Lecce, Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri shared his thoughts on the team’s current situation, emphasizing the club’s goal of creating a young team. Sarri stated, “Up until now we are downsizing, then we’ll do the math at the end. The club says it wants to create a young team, I don’t care about the registry. If there is quality there is quality in 20/30 years.” This approach suggests that Sarri is focused on long-term growth and development, rather than short-term gains.
Sarri’s Commitment to Lazio and Its Fans
Sarri expressed his dedication to the team and its fans, saying, “I promised the people of Lazio that I would do everything and accept anything, I do it for the love they are giving me. Lazio – adds Sarri – is something you can’t understand, it’s a big story, you don’t understand it until you’re inside it.” This statement highlights Sarri’s emotional investment in the team and his commitment to delivering results for the fans. He also acknowledged the team’s performance, noting that “the team did what it could from a tactical and mental point of view. We missed a myriad of balls in the first half. In the second half we grew a little and then disappeared in the last 25 metres.”
Addressing Controversy and Player Dynamics
In response to questions about president Lotito and the controversy surrounding the team, Sarri deflected, stating, “These are things that there is no need to answer, ten days ago a player left who came to my office to cry. There is no problem of feeling between me and the team – he adds – clearly when 15 out of 25 players play there is always someone dissatisfied, but that’s not the feeling. If you sell a player and say that he didn’t get along with Sarri It seems bad to me, also because the players who left told me something completely different.” This response suggests that Sarri is focused on maintaining a positive team dynamic and is not interested in engaging with controversy or speculation.
