Spezia coach Vincenzo Italiano discussed tomorrow’s league clash against Lazio whilst speaking to gathered reporters in a press conference earlier today.
His words were noted by Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi.
We want to try to repeat the performances we’ve been having lately. It is clear that at home we want to do well.
In theory this is the last game in Cesena so we will try to say goodbye to this stadium that hosted us in the best way. Then the only thing that matters is to try and be consistent.
He touched on the newly promoted side’s opponents tomorrow, the Biancocelesti.
Lazio are among the top clubs of this league. They’re a team that in recent seasons continues to fight for the top spots and in the Champions League does well.
We’ve seen footage, we’ve seen how they played in Dortmund and they’re a strong team that if you let them think for themselves, they have a lot of solutions with a lot of quality players and an amazing forward like Ciro Immobile. They have an organization that has been well proven for years now.
The Spezia coach commented on how the side will approach the game in the same way as any other.
For us, they’re another tough nut to crack, it will be tough because they are all strong, they are all equipped with great quality and so we just have to face Lazio like in previous games, with great attention because as soon as you give up something the opponents punish you.
Finally, Italiano spoke about tomorrow’s biggest threat, 30-year-old Italian forward Ciro Immobile.
He’s an amazing striker, he has become an infallible goal scorer. He is a difference maker, he is the number one danger for us together with all his teammates and the work they have been carrying out for many years.
You have to be careful, try to concede little because they are a lethal team. Every time they have the opportunity, they always manage to score a goal.
When we are called to defend, we must do it in a compact, careful and without leaving anything to chance because Lazio have great skills to hurt you at any time.
The Biancocelesti are currently 9th in the Serie A table after nine games, sitting on 14, three behind rivals Roma.
Spezia are 14th and have 10 points after nine games.
