The Biancocelesti coach after the 3-2 win over Atalanta: ‘Castellanos still has room for growth.’
What do you think of Vecino’s recent form? If you have him in the squad, he’s like a blank check; there comes a point in the season when you cash it in. When he’s in good shape, he’s a reliable player. There was no chance he would leave in the summer,” Maurizio Sarri expresses gratitude toward the Uruguayan player but, in general, gives his full approval to his Lazio team.
“This season Matias has been solving some problems for us. He came from a high-level Champions League match and today he played his part again, both mentally and physically. But today, everyone who came in added to our consistency,” Sarri said for Dazn.
“Today, we had a great first 25 minutes; it’s a pity because the score could have been more decisive by the half-hour mark, but it was impossible to maintain a high pace in these 50-degree conditions.”
Luis Alberto? “He’s a driving force of the whole team. Today, he was fatigued; he had been playing a series of consecutive matches, all for 90 minutes. Zaccagni also came off with an ankle issue.
Castellanos? He had a good game, he’s improving, but there’s still room for growth; he’s a very dedicated young man. From a human values perspective, the group is of a high standard,” Sarri added.
“In terms of mental reactions, we can still improve. Compared to the early matches, we are conceding less.”
