Lazio Women coach Carolina Morace looked ahead to next season’s Serie A Femminile campaign.
Speaking in an interview with Italian broadcaster Lazio Style Channel (via TuttoMercatoWeb) earlier today, the Biancocelesti Women coach first spoke about the difficulties of the Italian topflight.
We’re in Serie A and the matches are all difficult. Sampdoria are a new team but they are a team that have been used to playing in Serie A for several years.
The second game will be against Inter who are one of the big teams and then there’s AC Milan who are aiming to win the league and the Champions League.
We’re new and we have to get used to things quickly, mistakes cost goals and defeats.
The 57-year-old Italian coach commented on the Serie A Femminile schedule, which was released yesterday.
You have to face them all. During the season you don’t know how many injuries or suspensions you’ll get.
We have to be ready for the start of the season, we’re looking for friendlies that will help us get into the rhythm of the league right away.
Morace touched on what the team’s objectives are for next season.
We’re used to doing well because that’s how we finished last year. The framework has remained the same with the addition of targeted players.
We’ve put together a team whose objective is to avoid relegation. Let’s see what our maximum will be.
The Italian coach was happy with the team’s work in the transfer market this summer.
We were the first to complete the squad. There are two missing pieces that we were not able to secure.
The new girls are integrating very well because the others are guiding them into the world of Lazio and the city of Rome.
The 57-year-old Italian coach spoke about the importance of the fans and their return this campaign.
This year we’ve missed them more than vice versa. The fans used to stop me in the street wanting to see our games.
It’s a shame because it’s been a triumphant ride, we’ll try to show that this year.
She commented on the upcoming two Derby della Capitale matches against intercity rivals Roma.
It’s always a popular match, Roma have had several friendlies and they’re ahead of the game because they’ve been training in Serie A for years.
We’ll get there and we’ll play for it through the organisation of our game and the stimuli that will be there.
Finally, Morace discussed the other top teams in Serie A Femminile next season.
Juventus has something more, last year AC Milan, Fiorentina and Inter were disappointing. The only one that did their best was Sassuolo.
Juventus had the strongest team but the others were absent. The level has dropped a little because the big teams are lacking.
Lazio Women have not lost a game yet under coach Carolina Morace, who managed to successfully guide them to promotion last season, dominating Serie B Women.
