Rossi : I think every match is an adventure to be lived

The Biancocelesti's coach has said consistency is the key ahead of tomorrow afternoon's game against Catania...

Lazio travel to Sicily tomorrow to face Catania and the Biancocelesti will be looking to shake off last weekend's humiliating 3-0 defeat at home to Chievo Verona.

It is a match that sees two sides who are capable of great things on their day but who are also prone to slumping to inexplicable defeats and Lazio boss Delio Rossi has had enough.

Il Corriere dello sport, covering his pre-match press conference, reported what he said.

“Catania are a side that can change according to the nature of their opponents, and that is because [the Sicilians’ boss Walter] Zenga has got them going with the right mentality.”

After Lazio’s last game, where they lost to Chievo at home, Rossi tried to keep things simple, “I just told them they played
badly and had to go out next time to show that it won’t happen again.

“The bones of this side are solid, but one or two new acquisitions could improve it,” he maintained, “I think every match is an adventure to be lived, and I try not to worry overmuch about our league position, or UEFA Cup qualification.”

Turning to the game and the club’s injury list, the boss said, “[Francelino] Matuzalem and [Stephan] Lichtsteiner, may not make it but, [Fernado] Muslera, [Simone] Del Nero and [Maurado] Meghni should be back.

He concluded by talking about Emilson Cribari, whose outburst after being substituted did not please his coach. “I would have said what he did to the team first, and then to the outside world, but he was letting off steam.”
