The textual chronicle
Spezia hosts Lazio, second alone in the standings, in the evening advance of the 30th day. Sarri's men have already shown everything, but even Semplici's team is aware of being able to have its say against rivals of a certain level, such as the draw at home to Fiorentina that interrupted the streak of consecutive victories of the viola. The coach of the Ligurians, in a press conference on the eve of the challenge against the biancocelesti, wants to start from that result: "Before Florence I had asked the boys to put on the field what we knew how to do and I really liked the attitude of all of them, able to suffer at the right times and attack with courage in others".
And he adds: "I don't want to dwell too much on absences, but I prefer to think about the players I have available in view of an important game, in which our public will be more decisive than ever. It is clear that we will face a strong team, but it will be up to us to make life difficult for them, trying from the approach to the race to impose ourselves also characteristically. It is difficult to find weaknesses in Lazio, it is a team of great value that now has only the championship as its objective and is proving it with great performances. Sarri has certainly managed to convey his guidelines to the team and we will have to try not to suffer the race, know how to suffer at the right times and keep the ball a lot, interpreting a proactive race."
Of course, important points are played at the Franchi, also in view of a further comeback in the standings to definitively abandon the bogeyman of relegation. Numerous absences: Bastoni stopped by the sports judge in addition to Sala, Moutinho and Agudelo who will not be there.
At Lazio, after the fundamental victory against Juventus, the biancocelesti will continue to defend second place and continue the march towards the Champions League. The coach, Maurizio Sarri, can count on practically the entire squad available. Immobile return to be the starter from the first minute, along with Anderson and Zaccagni.
The coach continues to ask for maximum concentration from his men: "We will play in a particular stadium, with the fans very close, in a small field, against an aggressive team, which in the last six games has lost only one at home, and that has beaten Inter within the friendly walls", explains the coach. "It's a game with great risks. In races like tomorrow's we sometimes sinned of presumption and we paid for it, winning tomorrow would make me happy in terms of mentality".
