Rome, 30 August (LaPresse) – "Returning to Europe immediately is a goal that you are saying, the club has not told me that. They talked to me about three years, starting with a more difficult season. If we can now create seven or eight players of a certain level, then we will only need three. Otherwise, it will be a difficult transfer market… In January? You'll have to ask the club. I didn't even shoot in the previous block. We need to build a foundation to become competitive again.‘ These were the words of Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri on the eve of the league match against Verona. ’A week ago, I would have said we were further behind. After the first match, we're further ahead. I saw a good pre-season against top-level teams. I saw a team with the desire to fight, suffer and get results. On Sunday, I saw something else. We mustn't lack energy anymore. Now the situation is this. The team worked well during the training camp, all in all I liked the friendlies. Then I came out like someone who struggles to see what he has seen. I struggled to understand it," added the Tuscan coach.
