Lazio Coach Sarri: “We Are Being Drained of Energy at All Levels” | OneFootball

We showed really good solidity against Salernitana and Udinese. But Atalanta will be a different story, we’re playing against a team with huge attacking potential. The margin for error is much smaller. I don’t know if we’ll have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Right now we’re interested in continuing the growth that’s going on.

We have both changed a lot, and this is an absolutely natural situation. In football and in life 17 or 20 years is a long time. People change, there are no solutions.

We are being drained of energy at all levels, national, European and international. They’re holding a 60-team World Cup in winter, they’re removing the away goal rule, giving more room for extra time, increasing the number of games. All this is exacerbated by the hypocrisy of putting in place financial fair play and blocking lists, at least they would let us sign 30 players, if we have to play so much.

I don’t know if he will stay, but I know that the club is doing everything to keep him. The guy’s performances are growing from game to game and, to be honest, he gives us the idea that he can still grow.
