.

Marco Baroni, Lazio coach, presented the Europa League challenge against Nice in a press conference: "Tomorrow we face a complicated opponent who plays good soccer, a 3-4-2-1 that often becomes a 3-4-3 and there will be; to manage a double width, we will serve; the best Lazio. The guys are fine, today there will be the last session. We work with our heads down, we know that work leads us to close gaps and grow, creating this strong identity that we seek. As I have already said the group è very participative and in these tight weeks we have few trainings, but very intense".

"Enthusiasm è one of the most important aspects that you have to have, the joy of coming to the field – added the coach of the biancocelesti -. Then è balance is fundamental, we must always understand that these moments must be managed. I like it when a team feels pain from a defeat, this helps you give your best but we have to manage the moments. The performance aspect and the work are the two aspects that lead you to achieve the goals. I have guys who work hard, my focus and the staff's focus is on managing these resources, all these close games expose you to physical and mental stress that's what's most difficult to manage. Something is going to change, we have to look for these energies and I have no doubt about the answers we will receive;. Who will goà on the field will giveà the maximum".

"From day one I showed the team the data and said I was coaching a strong team. I am fortunate to coach a strong team, maybe I risk repeating myself but I do it gladly becauseé the work participation that I found from day one allows us to bring on the field the daily work. I am happy but we have to work, we have just started and there's a lot of work to put in. We only think about work and improvement, è the è only way that can allow us to get to the'goal".

Final comment on Matias Vecino: "È fundamental in all aspects, he has an overflowing physical condition and he feels it. I train guys who enter in the most important moments of the game, those who enter do so at a decisive moment and it is enough to see the Torino game. From this point of view Vecino dà a great contribution, but he also does it in the work during the week and è a fundamental resource for us".
