Monza-Lazio 1-1 LIVE on the pitch
Network by Ciro Immobile. Kamada collects a loose ball on the edge of the area and shoots with power. Di Gregorio manages to clear it onto the crossbar, but the ball ends up in the area of the Biancoceleste captain, who doesn’t miss the tap-in from two steps.
Goal by Milan Đurić. Donati crossed in the center of the area for the introduction of Pessina, who headed it with a sure shot, but was met with a great response from Mandas. The ball ends up in Djuric’s area, who reiterates his goal from close range.
EVE
“The first leg was a completely different match: now there is a new coach with different playing principles. Now there is a good coach who makes intensity and duels his strengths: perhaps it is a football more cynical and concrete than last season. It will be a complicated match, but we have never lost our character.”
On the eve of the match, the Monza coach, Raffaele Palladino, goes into detail on the tactical level: “Sarri played a game with different principles, I studied Tudor and I also know him well as a person, I shared the locker room with him when I was a child at the time of Mr. Lippi.” “I face him tomorrow and I’m pleased, he’s a coach who did well both in Marseille and Verona and took on a team with other principles, giving them his own identity”, added Palladino.
The objective is to do the maximum, but Igor Tudor doesn’t want timetables for the Champions League, because “the other teams are there too. We can only look at our performances”, underlines the coach before the match against Monza. And the Croatian is focusing precisely on the Champions League race, opening the debate on Atalanta-Fiorentina, postponed and without a date set for the recovery. “It’s not right, it wouldn’t be right to play at the end of the championship. I understand that there are calendars, but we need to improve in organizing the matches”, his words on the matter. In the meantime, however, we need to think about Monza, as well as the environment surrounding the team about which Tudor, after 45 days in Lazio, is starting to have rather clear ideas. “I spoke to a fan who wanted the championship. I understood that there is great passion, but I see little objectivity in the judgements. There are 20 teams, we need to understand what the quality of the squad is, which accounts for 70/80%. The objective must be to do better than the position we should be in. Last year this Lazio wasn’t in second place and yet they got there, however, too much love can lead to overestimating certain situations”, clarifies Tudor . Who, for the match against Monza, will have everyone available except Gila, with the great unknown represented by Provedel, recovered from his ankle injury but “who only did a few training sessions with us”, to whom Mandas will most likely be preferred, and the usual doubt in attack where Immobile could be seen as a starter again. The one who will certainly be there is Zaccagni, a player who “we have to be good at understanding how to use him. It’s nice to have him in the squad and we’re trying to make the most of him”, adds Tudor, ready to study solutions for a championship finale which, although without tables, could allow Lazio to qualify for next year’s Champions League which, before the Croatian’s arrival, could not even have been imagined.
