Lazio, Inzaghi: "Very important match. De Vrij's renewal? The club has always kept the door open but now it seems like a definite 'no'"

Lazio beat Hellas Verona to earn three important points this evening as the result moves them ahead of Inter in the race for a top four spot in Serie A. After the match Simone Inzaghi spoke to Sky Sport: "This was a very important match for us, we were very good at interpreting it in the best way. The players did very well because it wasn't simple, we came from a period in which we were only missing the results, not the performances. We are there after 25 matches, and we want to remain here until the end. Turnover of players? We will evaluate and see how the players recover in these two matches. We have many matches that we earned on the field and we want to remain in these competitions with all of our might, although it will take a lot of energy. A lot of trips and mental energy that we can begin to miss. Thursday we play again against Leiva, and we hope that the fans help us. Immobile? He got used to scoring on every shot. In the first half he should have scored, and I told him to stay calm and continue like this because the goal would come. De Vrij? He is a top player, I spoke to him. He must remain calm and continue to play like this evening, I hope he remains until June, there is still time. The renewal? He fought, and is in love with Lazio and with Rome, the fans love him. For some time we were waiting for 'white smoke' but it never arrived. The director of sport was clear: the club always kept the door open, now it seems like a certain 'no.' In football, however, there can be changes that can make everyone happy."
