Lazio, Igor Tudor credits himself

.

Here are the words of Lazio coach Igor Tudor ahead of next Sunday’s match against Empoli. Quotes reported by tuttomercatoweb.com.

"We have worked well, we want to finish the season with these three matches and do it well. We want to close this path made in these two months, the team worked well, was serious and focused, aware of the importance of the competition. The 50th anniversary of the first Scudetto? There’è always inspiration from the past, especially with winning teams. There are two scudettos in the past, however, one must always value when there's success in '74 and it's right to remember. I am focused on what needs to be done in these last games, then there will be time to think about the market. We haven&#39t done analysis on who's suitable or who isn't suitable, here there's only focus on the remaining matches".

" We made an analysis of the draw with Monza fair as always, nothing more è and nothing less happened. We worked on what I didn't like, in the span of these matches that are many there is to make one more underwhelming, on the other hand we had three points and there were 2-3 minutes to go. I think we are on the right track, there's only to finish well starting with Sunday which's an important game. Tomorrow there'è refinement and we will see who to pick".

“With Luis Alberto and Zaccagni there'è no problem, I watch like you every day television and there are always matches, we all see soccer and there'è always someone who reacts badly to the change, you have to stay within the limit of the right behavior, but nothing exaggerated. Monza è the past, I don&#39t want to talk about Monza because now we have to think about Empoli. We worked on working with the low block, building the game, how to mark in crosses inside the area and attacking space. We have been working on this ahead of Sunday".

"I am focused in my life as a coach and as a man always on the present, I don&#39t compare with others and doing programming doesn&#39t belong to me, I don&#39t think it leads to anything. You have to grow day by day, è a challenge with yourself as a footballer and as a man. If you improve then you reach your goal, if you are good at your job you move on, then you see where that job takes you. The less you look at others in life the better è you live better and you can focus more on yourself. Since I arrived, Lazio è have been first in the standings with Inter and Atalanta. Inter won the scudetto and Atalanta è in the Europa League final. I would sign to have this performance for the next ten years".

"Two things must be said, Mandas has done very well and è a young prospect, è a guy who has given us in these competitions forò Provedel è our number one. He is coming back from a major injury, è clearly growing. For this match he è not yet ready, forò è well on his way. Today the injured trained, Gila we will see if he can come back on Sunday or at any rate he will definitely be there against Inter. The ambition to improve must always be there, otherwise how do you do it in this business? As I said before, we have to think about growing individually without setting goals. Having a goal soì without growing is useless".
