Sarri Thinks Lazio “Knew” They “Were Going to Lose” vs Napoli “From the Warmup” | OneFootball

Luca is a guy uncommon intelligence. At Chelsea I listened to him a lot, he was never boring. He is making a good path. This year Udinese have not conceded so much. A difficult match.

I always think about winning games. The difficulties are obvious: after three games after the international breaks, three points. Four points after the Europa League. The other 14 points. From 2.30 per game, it drops to the average after extra commitments. They’ve had some very good games, others as a completely drained team. A heavy problem. In other years, particular situations happened once a month, now three times. You realize that it’s not a simple problem to solve. The vision must be broader, see Klopp at Liverpool. Even if I don’t think I’m like him.

It’s not a tactical problem, it has nothing to do with the module or how you play. When the team is passive you lose. This is a problem of knowing how to manage nervous energy. Knowing how to recharge in the moments when you’re losing. Sometimes you lose your head mentally, on Saturday they were alert, so I think it’s an unconscious problem. None of us can intervene. You could see from the warm-up we knew we were going to lose.

We had a period where we conceded three goals all from penalties at home. I have to find the trick if the team does something and then I just fix what doesn’t work.

If I had a joystick I would have already reactivated him. He has a very delicate character, a different level of sensitivity from the average player, which makes him fragile in certain situations. He is also difficult to manage, if you keep him out you risk drowning him. There was a flaw, otherwise he wouldn’t be here, you have to live with it.

I don’t know what to say. I’m not talking about names or particular needs. We should have a meeting to talk about two or three windows. If we take more time, we can do something serious.

I think it’s frustrating for us coaches because we’ve become television directors, you lose the taste for the field. I don’t like it, but maybe there are coaches who do. I think there has to be the right amount of time to prepare the players. I think there has to be the enjoyment of the field, which is why you do this job. It’s not just a matter of earnings. I think the calendar needs to be reshaped.

At the corporate level, I think so. I don’t think there is any pressure to get a result tomorrow. He has ideas and he takes them forward. At the media level, I’m interested in the right thing, I never know what you write. If I see green I watch, if I see an analysis I change.

The evaluation is done constantly. Strakosha plays in the cups, Reina in Serie A. So far we have made this kind of choice, they are both playing. Then we’ll see if we go ahead with this choice.

He did more tests than training. He had to do 24 hours of Holter tests, then a whole series of tests. He’ll be doing double sessions for a while from now on.

There are games when we lack movement without the ball and we become sterile. If everyone wants the ball on them it’s hard to be dangerous. It’s a problem of managing certain situations better. Also in managing the counter attacks, which sometimes we waste. But at the moment it doesn’t seem to be one of the main problems.

Patric is the only right-back we have at the moment. The first idea is this, then we’ll see if there will be other indications in this training. After Napoli there are two possibilities, either I’ll play all eleven players, or I’ll change five or six. I’m going for the first possibility. Where does the truth lie? There is a collective responsibility.
