Lazio, Guendouzi out with Braga: unseen replacement ready

Marco Baroni spoke on the eve of Sporting Braga-Lazio, the last day of the single group stage of the Europa League: "Although tomorrow we are numerically counted we have to play a real game, è what we want with the team. Our maximum concentration è turned to tomorrow".

"I grow every match, whoever does this job and è is ambitious must set as a goal to always go beyond the limits – added the coach of the biancocelesti -.

I am not happy with what happened on Sunday, I accept criticism and I have to take it on. For some choices I have to say that I would make them again because they have a nature that also led us to do well in Europe. È it was a particular match where the opponent collected everything they did, which è was little, while we failed even though the offensive production è was good. You always have to have something to anchor yourself strongly on, the team's identity and the offensive production made even in the difficulties; è was important. We are the first to challenge ourselves and we will make sure to reduce those few mistakes that we pay dearly".

So he announced a heavy absence with the Portuguese: "Guendouzi had a flu attack and that is why he è stayed in Rome, we also have Dia who this morning è was preserved but è with us".

The Florentine coach evaluates an unprecedented solution to replace the French midfielder: "I have to evaluate, è it is very likely that Gila can play in midfield because in my opinion he can do it, but I am also evaluating some guys we brought in. I am sewing him a role that he can play, it will be important his availability. He rises a few meters, è a young guy who will have an important future and these can be opportunities for him" to grow.

" We cannot talk about management, we have to approach the game at our best because we are at the highest level of the Europa League. The most important aspect è inside the game, you cannot underestimate these matches. That would be the worst possible mistake, the opponent deserves respect and we have to face him in the right way" concluded Baroni.
