Udinese...

Lazzari: "Need (“We”?) to play on the pitch factor"

"We experienced a total blackout in Turin. We need to start fresh"

 

The three assists in the matches against Fiorentina and Inter have brought back to the fans a renewed Andrea Lazzari, who represents the best midfielder able to serve captain Di Natale and Luisito Muriel. The midfielder, four days ahead of the match against Siena, takes stock of the situation of the squad.

How eager are you all to forget Turin?

"We really are. We experienced a total blackout at the Juventus Stadium. Padelli managed to resist at first, but then we got overwhelmed. We hope - and want - to take our revenge at once, but these poor figures make us realize the mistakes we made to try not to repeat them. The midfield? We often hear that matches are won through midfielders, and we didn't manage to lead the game there against Juventus, which is why we were punished".

You are playing at the Friuli on Sunday. How important can the "pitch factor" be?

"We need to play on home matches to try and get as many points as possible. I hope Totò can score his 150th goal on Sunday. A win would make us forget last Saturday's defeat".

Siena are not resigned (they lost their jobs?) though...

"It's true. Without the penalization, they would have 20 points. Then I know the coach, Iachini, and I know how much strength and character he can transmit to his squads. Moreover, they have some really strong players such as Felipe and Pozzi, who are just great".
