The words of Walter Mazzarri

Walter Mazzarri spoke in a press conference on the eve of the match against Monza: "Osimhen's ejection with Roma? Since è came back this guy is being battered from morning to night, right now he feels the responsibility of being a guy who wreaked havoc last year, there are some nervous mistakes. I tend to excuse them but not because I&#39m a do-gooder, but because I think it&#39s right. It will give us a lot when he comes back from the African Cup of Nations, right now he also has to be a little protected from all these things that are happening to us".

" Meanwhile, I want to thank the public, I know there will be a full stadium, I am glad they will give us a hand at a difficult time. I thank them already from now. As for the tactical talk, I do the training today and you know there are few of them. Ask me if you want questions about the individual players available because there are so many unavailable now, but we have to have a great race".

Market comment: "Revolutions are not made in January, there's not the material to be able to do it, I think. I prefer the company to talk about the market, I want to give a hand to the players to regain that confidence they had last year, playing well and trying to be balanced and not make lightness and mistakes to avoid. It will be a difficult match, Monza è a team that put Lazio in trouble, I have seen it because they play with a form like ours but Monza will come with nothing to lose, they play well and have a good coach. È a very important match for many reasons and I would not like to go beyond the match".
