Sarri: "My Tone Used Against Milan Was Worth 2 Matches Suspension, In The Turnmoil On Saturday With Hand-on And Pushing A Man On The Ground I Did Not See Any Expulsions."

On the eve of the Lazio-Marseille Europa League match, the Biancoceleste coach spoke at the press conference.

"With the current calendar, the Europa League becomes an almost infeasible competition, given that it is played on Thursday evening without the possibility of playing in the league on Monday."

"Let's see how the boys are, the problem will not arise tomorrow since we played on Thursday but in the next match.  It will be a difficult match, Milik worries me as well as the rest of Marseille.  It is a strong and dynamic team that plays football that is difficult to face.  It will be a high-level and very demanding match.  It will be a central challenge also considering the new competition rules."

"Immobile is such an important player for the team that it is difficult to think of predefined management.  Let's see the boy's reactions from time to time, he's fine now, but we'll have seven games in twenty days.  He's fine for now, then we'll evaluate."

"The teams competing in European competitions will be forced to play two matches at a distance of fewer than three days.  We will have six matches of this type on the calendar, another team not even one.  We think there was a hint of lightness in determining the calendar."

"Dal Pino spoke of the Premier League, but I would leave it alone because those managers bring five billion euros to the League, the Serie A managers bring less than a fifth.  In the Premier League, clubs can set up higher-level squads from a quantitative and qualitative point of view."

"Sporting Judge of Lazio-Inter?  My tone used against Milan was worth two days of disqualification, in the turmoil on Saturday with hands-on and pushing a man on the ground I did not see expulsions."

"We must demonstrate continuity: against Inter we reacted by taking a good step forward.  We were good at staying in the game, now we need a demonstration of continuity.  We have had numbers against the Nerazzurri that I have never seen in thirty years of career, from a physical point of view it is difficult to repeat a similar match, instead, mental stability must be shown for a longer period."

"Luiz Felipe and Acerbi can still grow on some aspects, I ask him and Acerbi to be more communicative to lead the defense.  This way we can solve some problems."

"In Italy, there are the best referees in the world, but they have a different attitude from that of the Premier League.  It could also be linked to a cultural aspect, in England, there is no attention to referees."

"Zaccagni does not need to raise, he stopped for a stop.  He is back, he is doing well and I think he played a good game against Inter in the minutes he had available."

"The Europa League is very complicated compared to other years also due to the new regulation.  We are at stake and we want to stay there, tomorrow's race is important: it can open paths for us or it can make them very difficult."
