Orexatos appeared at the press conference after Lazio’s great win over Bayern Munich on Maurizio Sarri. Makes sense, when his sub-budget team managed to bend a superpower and take a lead in qualifying for his quarterfinals Champions League.
The 65-year-old technician wanted to make fun of the fellow citizen Romasaying that it is nicer to beat the “jalorossi” than the Bayern.
At the same time, he wanted to deify the Bavarians, saying that they have scary players, while he emphasized that Lazio will meet a … hell in the replay of Germany!
“Obviously it’s very satisfying to be able to win against such strong opponents. However, winning a derby against Roma is perhaps even nicer.”he initially emphasized.
“We beat one of the strongest teams in Europe, but there is also a bit of regret because we could have scored again at the end. I liked that we were solid and the team spirit we showed. We had decided to lower the level of pressing as at times they were forcing us to lose more yards than I expected. We chose not to be too open as they can attack with so many players. However, they also give you space for counter-attacks and we chose to take advantage of these situations”he said of the tactical approach he followed, among other things.
“Tuchel has won a lot more than me, so he will know what he has to do. Bayern are a strong team and I was impressed by several of their players who came off the bench, like Tel for example. They have scary players in their squad. Let’s keep this win, but we know we’re going to have a hell of a time in Germany.”concluded the experienced technician.
