Hupu News October 26th: In the 8th round of Serie A, Lazio faced Juventus at home and finally defeated their opponent 1-0. Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri accepted interviews with multiple media after the game.

Does Lazio need a night like this to get rid of the haze this summer?

"We have scored eight points in the last four games, against strong teams such as Atalanta and Juventus, and all of this was achieved despite the team's injury crisis. This shows the character of the team, we played some good football, and of course there is room for improvement. The team's defense did a good job and took the lead in the ninth minute. First of all, it allowed us to take the initiative in the game. Especially in the second half, we had more space and were almost not threatened. I am happy for the players and the fans, they finally gained some satisfaction in these difficult months, after all, it felt like a 'cursed' period."

What does this Lazio look like now?

"In difficult times, everyone showed a strong psychological quality. We lacked stability at the beginning of the season, and now in the last four games, the team has rediscovered that spirit. We must maintain this spirit for the long term."

Bacic, Cataldi and Providel all performed well, what makes you most satisfied?

"I don't want to focus on who's name. When the team can respond to doubts in this way, it is more appropriate to praise the entire team than to praise individuals. Today every player completed their tasks, even those who did not perform so eye-catching, also played very solid. Today I will not talk about individual performance, but praise the entire team."

Is it a tactical choice to keep Dia farther away from the goal?

"Of course we also hope that he can move a little further forward, but if he is allowed to move freely, he will be more inclined to drop back to receive. Facing a team that likes man-to-man marking, I prefer him to move his position further away from the goal, because this can open up space for insertion. If the opponent is more closed Focusing on controlling the ball, it would be better for him to stand further forward. If it is a game like tonight, this position is okay, but during the game against Atlanta, the man-to-man defense was more intense. "

How did you and the coaching staff feel after such an important victory?

"We are happy for ourselves, for the players and for the Lazio fans. Some differences between me and the club have never been my concern. Putting aside those, from the team's point of view, everyone did not let up at all for 100 minutes, so They deserve this satisfaction. Although we are happy to beat a strong team, we don't care about Juventus, we only care about Lazio and Lazio fans."

What were you thinking when you saw that McKennie was not shown a second yellow card?

"To be honest, I was very angry at the time (laughing). From the perspective of our bench, it was an obvious yellow card. To be honest, we were all surprised. The referee and the fourth official tried to explain to us calmly, but in my opinion, their explanation was wrong."

Did Bahic expect such an outstanding performance?

"He was a little lost before and was even left off the roster for a time. But when we needed him, he stepped up. He has matured a lot in character and is now bringing great help to the team. I am very happy for him."

Could tonight's victory be a turning point for the team?

"In the last 4 games, we have had an average of 7 players absent per game, but still scored 8 points, which shows that the team has maintained a good state for a month."

How is Isaacson's performance today?

"You can see from training that he is constantly improving, but I didn't expect him to reach this level. It was also a surprise for us, he played a very good game."

How did the meeting with the club go?

"It is very normal between us and I have not had any disagreements with the president or the sports director. If anyone writes anything to the contrary, that is false news."
