Ex Arsenal Star Credits Marco Baroni for Lazio Success, Reveals Champions League Ambitions | OneFootball

Most of the credit goes to Baroni. He gave us a beautiful and effective style of play. Everyone attacks and everyone defends. He gave us enthusiasm and an almost perfect organization. I have worked with excellent coaches thus far in my career. I must also be grateful to [Jorge] Sampaoli and [Maurizio] Sarri and Baroni. The latter has a playing philosophy very similar to that of [Unai] Emery and Sampaoli. Their football is very exciting for the fans.

We have to keep our feet on the ground, but we must not set limits. I would like to return to the Champions League but it won’t be easy. I would love to win a trophy with Lazio this season or even in the next few years. I would be very happy for the fans and the club.

I feel very good at Lazio and in the Italian league. I am satisfied with the choice I made. I have improved a lot since my arrival. [France coach Didier] Deschamps is a former midfielder who played in Italy, so he knows how difficult Serie A is and how much you improve on a tactical level. France can count on several high-level players. I think we are the best national team in the world. Playing for Les Bleus is a childhood dream come true.

Nicolo made a couple of borderline tackles on me, but it’s okay. We joked about it later. He has everything it takes to become a top player and be the best Italian midfielder in a short time. In fact, perhaps he already is. Together, we are putting on excellent displays.
