Luciano Spalletti spoke on the eve of the match against Lazio: “I need to be nervous; I probably haven’t been nervous enough up to this point. It helps me put in more energy and convey more to my players.”
Among the main topics discussed ahead of the match is the possibility of starting both Nick Woltemade and Randal Kolo Muani from the opening whistle: “That’s the dilemma; there are others as well that we’ll be evaluating in the coming hours,” he explained. The coach emphasized that the decision must also take into account the ability to change the course of the game as it unfolds. Starting both players, in fact, could limit the offensive options available off the bench.
On the subject of the opponents: “Gattuso’s work deserves recognition; he’s the one who’s been the most successful among us right now,” he stated, before describing Lazio as a distinctive team full of quality players.
A note on the future: “I’m not quitting after Juventus, and I’m not quitting even after the team that comes after Juventus,” he said, closing with a quote from Franco Califano: “I’m not ruling out a return.”
