Lazio, Marco Baroni and Pedro aim to win everywhere

This is how Lazio coach Marco Baroni introduces the Europa League match against Twente in a press conference:

“Twente è a young team that plays well and for us it will be a difficult test, especially in their stadium where the crowd fuels the atmosphere a lot. We will need a high level performance from Lazio, in several respects. We have some defections like Lazzari or Guendouzi, a shared choice to try to recover him".

Baroni then stresses how the team wants to "compete for all goals. Tomorrow we will have to do something extraordinary, there are all the prerequisites to do so. In these matches there are no favorites, these are two teams that express good soccer and these competitions bring them home to those who è are more attentive and those who seek with more attention the victory. Tomorrow è an important step for the ranking, but looking at it now would be a mistake".

Finally, a thought on the match against Juventus with "the episodes in Turin that must not undermine our path, that match gave us the knowledge that in the difficulties given by the numerical inferiority the team found defensive depth. Away problem? In those matches there were abnormal situations, but è something we have to pay attention to", he concludes.

Instead, these are the words of biancoceleste striker Pedro: "I have always said that Lazio must aim for the title in every competition. Last year Atalanta won the Europa League and we also have the quality and the players to do it. There are many teams that can do it but we also have the chance to go all the way. We are here to score points and a good performance".

"Now I am only thinking about the field and I will do itò as long as the body and the head are well. Right now I feel good in this team, è a special moment here at Lazio for me. The change of mentalityà has been given to us by the coach, there are many young people to make a long-term project", he continued. Finally a thought about Twente, " dynamic team and it will be" difficult for us. Every time we come here è difficult because of the atmosphere and this time too it will be very complicated".
