Roman Derby! Surrey: The kickoff at 12:30 noon is a serious test for both teams and will fight for the fans

At 18:30 today (12:30 local time), Lazio will play against Roma at home and usher in the same city derby. Before the game, Lazio head coach Sarri attended the press conference.

How are you feeling now? How is the team going?

Emotions must be stable, and this will be a special and extremely strong game. I think this is one of the most intense and catching derbys in Europe, and one of the most intense and most watched derbys in the world. Therefore, everyone's mood and adrenaline levels are very high.

I am not sure about the situation of the injured in the team, and Castellanos seems to have recovered better and looks like he can play. Rovera we will evaluate again today. As for Patrick, he participated in some joint training yesterday, so he might be on the bench, but more symbolic.

What is the situation in Dele-Bashiru?

He had a little problem, but the morning inspection results were completely fine. Today he should be able to train and participate in the competition.

Sachi said Roma is better physically...

Gasperini's team is always strong and aggressive and will create great difficulties for you, so this is a fairly accurate assessment. Obviously, we need to reach a very high level at the technical level to resolve this aggression.

Do you think everyone is more optimistic about Rome?

I don't care at all, the Derby is a game between two teams that "hatred" each other in sports. So I just hope that my team, hot or not, can play for our fans. I'm not interested in who is popular, our goal is to fight for our fans for 95-100 minutes.

What are your special requirements for the team?

We are a team that must attack space, not pass around in too wide areas. I ask the team to have more courage in choosing and dare to organize attacks within the opponent's formation.

How is the difference between preparation for derby and other competitions?

The difference is emotion and motivation, which is clearly reflected in the higher concentration of all players. The emotional and dynamic factors of these games, I think, are higher than many other games.

How do you face the derby? Do you still remember the loss?

I seemed to have played six derbys and lost one, and I only remember that one. I remember the emotional discomfort in the days after losing, that endless sadness invaded my body and let you understand what the derby means. Almost ashamed when I returned to the sports center. This is the derby. If you don't do everything you should do in every way, you have the potential to let people down. If it happens, you will feel it heavy. Therefore, this must be imprinted in our minds and hearts. Will

Pedro start or be a weapon in the game?

He will participate in the competition, but he doesn't know whether it's part of the time or the starter. We also need to evaluate what cards are available to change the game. But we must be very dependent on Pedro.

How do you view the kick-off time at 12:30 noon? What do you think of the role of you and Gasperini on their respective teams?

If the game is up to us, the champions of the past 20 seasons have been won by Gasperini and me, but that is not the case. He is a great coach and I respect him so much that he will definitely bring a lot to Roma this season. But tomorrow is a derby, tomorrow we are opponents. Can the derby ignite Lazio?

So far, we played a very bad game in Como, a good game in Verona, against Sassuolo, and from a tactical point of view, the team has a compact and orderly formation and plays well. But from the perspective of the interpretation, quality and mentality of the competition, we can do better.

Are you feeling the same now as when you first came to Lazio?

is stronger, perhaps stronger, because time makes you love and attach to the environment and team here more and more.

You don't seem to think clearly yet...

My thinking is very clear. The team is very organized and has a compact formation. The club's primary goal is to strive to provide greater stability for this team. Then what is needed is to perform at your best.

About Pedro...

For Pedro, adapting to the intensity of the game is much more important, so we tried to protect him while getting him on the court, rather than risking him to play for the full 90 minutes at the beginning of the season because we don't know how he reacted later.

In which aspect is Lazio better than Rome? What do you want to see from the team tomorrow?

I want to see the team translate the results on the training ground into the game. I see more rhythm and intensity in training than in competitions. So that means there is something that binds us in the game. We must be stronger in character tomorrow.

What changes will the game change in preparation for the game at 12:30 noon?

It is obvious that the intensity of the game is likely to be very high. I think this time is a serious test for us and for them. But tomorrow's kickoff time is not a failure of Lazio or Roma, but a failure of football. If there is any match worth enduring the heat, it is this one.

What do you think of Zacharni?

He is growing slowly, and it is obvious that he has also undergone surgery in the summer, so early difficulties are inevitable, but he is growing. As a man, he seems to have grown up in maturity, and slowly, he may become an important captain.

What did you rediscover in Lazio fans?

The vast majority of Lazio fans are very patient. They have an infinite love for this jersey, and this love has only been seen here with Naples in my years of career.

How is the situation in Rovera? What about Isaxon and Bessino?

Rovela We will evaluate whether he can play in half an hour. Besino is still in the hands of the medical team, and I hope he can return to the team for training next week. Isaxon just started training and it took a process to get him back to his best condition.

Will Dele Bashiru start?

I don't know, let's take a look. I never complain about the absent players, one person doesn't go up, another person does.

Will this be an open game or a slower paced game?

Maybe the pace is slow, which may depend on the temperature, and then these games depend on the progress of the game and must be prepared for both situations.
