Marco Baroni Urges Lazio To Avoid Mistakes vs Porto, Confirms Arsenal Loanee Will Start | OneFootball

We will try to field the best team, also considering the energy we expanded during the last matches. It’s an important, difficult and beautiful match, against a top international opponent. So we must deliver a high-level performance. We must not make any mistakes on the pitch. Porto is a team that you shouldn’t give any space to. Their history speaks for itself. We have to take advantage of the opportunity and build on our momentum. But we need a great performance, otherwise it’s difficult to earn a result.

Regarding the goalkeepers, our Number One is Provedel. But when there’s a cup tie, we tend to give the others a chance, so I’ll make an assessment. We’ll see in the last training session, but there could be an opportunity for Mandas.

Nuno Tavares will definitely take part. He didn’t play the last one due to suspension. I still have to think about the rest of the lineup, as we have a few small ailments. We have two games left before the international break, so the staff must pay maximum attention when it comes to managing the squad. I knew about Nuno’s qualities. We’re trying to maximize his potential, as we do with the rest of the players. If we can improve individual performances, then we’d also improve the team’s displays.

I have always tried to promote to my team a style of football based on courage, hard work and passion. I have found an extraordinary response, the players have understood my principles and are following them. We still have to work hard to create a strong identity.
