“We are picking up very slender victories, but very, very important ones,” said the Coach in his Press conference.

The Aquile have won three on the bounce, all by a single goal margin, against Empoli, Frosinone and Apollon Limassol.

“The lads did well to get back on their feet after losses to Juventus and Napoli. Compared to last season, we’ve learned how to grind out a result and we must continue working until we find our sharpness and the right balance. There has to be a middle ground between a tight win and conceding a ton of goals, but right now we cannot afford slip-ups.”

Lazio’s star names, specifically Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, have struggled to deliver so far this season.

“Sergej is a very sensitive young man and some of the criticism hurt him, but he’ll soon get back to making the difference.”

Genoa are packed with former Lazio figures, including Federico Marchetti, Goran Pandev and Coach Davide Ballardini.

“I’m happy to see Ballardini again, as he was my Coach here. Pandev always made me cry as an opponent, as he tends to score against us! I wish Marchetti all the best, as I really wanted him in the team when I arrived.

“We dropped three very important points against Genoa last year and we know they are tough to break down. We’re keeping a special eye on Piatek.

“We will probably be without Luiz Felipe, Valon Berisha and Stefan Radu. We did extraordinary things last season and expectations have since been raised, but we’re only five games into this campaign and there’s time to get into gear.

“We’ve been working on our finishing with specific exercises in training.”
