LAZIO COACH: NOTHING TO LOSE AGAINST JUVENTUS

You are here

Serie A side, Lazio, will play champions, Juventus in a crucial match on Wednesday, 20th April, 2016.

The team in eighth place are already wary of the champions. Juventus have won 24 of their last 25 League games, and are nine points clear from others in the Serie A. Lazio’s Coach, Simone Inzaghi, told reporters that his team will play their normal game.

In the pre-match Press conference, the coach said:
“There is not nothing to lose.

“We’re going to play our game. Whoever plays will have to be at a high level, we'll play with the same approach.

“We know we have to do something incredible, in the last 25 games Juventus have won 24 and drawn one, but our squad has shown we can handle big games.”

Lazio has been struggling this season; with 48 points from 33 matches played. The Bianconeri are poised to easily pick up three points in the match but the coach kept on with his statements that they will play their normal game against the star-studded Juve squad.

“We’ll have to be quick when we get the ball back, moving it forward immediately to prevent them from regrouping. If we just have everyone sitting behind the ball we’ll have a big problem. To beat a team like this we’ll need a great Lazio and Juve not to be at their best. I’ve never been to Juventus Stadium, tomorrow will be a great feeling just as it was against Palermo and Empoli. We’ll try to do our best,” Inzaghi said.

On squad injuries, the coach said:

“[Antonio] Candreva, [Alessandro] Matri and [Milan] Bisevac won’t travel with us as they’ve had problems.

“We hope to have Candreva back for Sampdoria, I don’t think we’ll be able to do that with the other two.

“Then there’s [Miroslav] Klose who is a bit of a concern, we’ll have to see if we can at least get him on the bench.”
