He wants to return to winning ways with Lazio, with three points that have been missing for more than a month. The 3 to 0 victory away to Sassuolo on February 25 was the last joy in the league. Following this came the defeat with Juventus and draws with Cagliari and Bologna. Now they face Benevento to hope to stay in the Champions League spot race:
"We trained well, I found all the internationals very motivating" - Simone Inzaghi made his debut in the classic press conference on the eve - "Those who stayed here worked hard, someone recovered from injuries, others did not. Now we are entering the most delicate phase of the season, where we have to combine results and performances".
"Wallace, Lukaku and Radu will not be there against Benevento. Lulic? I will wait for today's training. Caceres picked up an injury against Milan - he has recovered but he is not at full form yet. He will be among the substitutes, but will not play from the beginning."
Also the same speech for Milinkovic-Savic, who picked up a little problem in Cagliari:"It would have been better not to use him tomorrow, but he always wants to be in the game. From today's training I will understand whether to start him from the bench or not."
On the return of Parolo and Immobile from the National team: "They played both against Argentina and England, but yesterday they trained well and I saw them very motivated".
On Felipe Anderson, who remained in Rome during the break: "Tomorrow he will play from the beginning and will help in attack".
Then the gaze inevitably falls on the latest results, for which Inzaghi does not seek excuses: "First of all it's our fault, we had to win certain matches, we do not have to look for alibis, we think only of ourselves. The past has passed, let's think about what will be".
Finally, on the words of Nainggolan, who accused Lazio to see penalties even when in reality there are and that they were also favored by some arbitration decisions: "I do not know what he said, I have not followed and it should not interest us. We are only concentrated on Benevento. We have a period where we have to give 120% to finish the season in the best way".
