Odd "I want to make Lippi believe again in me"
Posted 15 Oct '05, 9:17 AM

Massimo Oddo calls Marcello Lippi: "I want to put the ct in a difficult position and make him believe in me again" says the laziale. Talking about Lazio and the passed transfer market Oddo underlined that he wants to remain in Rome: "There have been concrete movements and it seemed that I would have had to go. There were some offers that I would have accepted gladly, but the conditions were not optimal and I'm just as happy to have stayed here. My price is high? If this were the case, I would have been sold."

Also Mudingayi injured
Posted 15 Oct '05, 9:24 AM

Also Mudingayi's name has been put in the list of the injured ones together with Baronio, Piccolo and Sereni. Rossi hasn't thrown all his hopes down the drain reguarding Mudingayi playing on Sunday, but it doesn't seem likely. Against Fiorentina, tho, should return Cesar. It seems that Rossi will field him instead of Manfredini and the couple in the center of the midfield will be Dabo and Liverani. In defense line-up will take Stendardo's place and erguarding the attack Rossi will choose between Di Canio and Inzaghi.

Rossi: "If we play like against Palermo, we'll win"
Posted 15 Oct '05, 22:14 PM

"If we play like against Palermo, we'll win -says the biancoceleste coach ahead of the clash against Fiorentina- Fiorentina is one of those teams that can aim for Champions League. Also they have a series of positive games behind them, so a lot depends on us, I conferm, if we play like we did against Palermo, we can win".

Formation: in defense Cribari will take Stendardo's place and will play together with Siviglia. In the middle of the pitch there will be Liverani with Dabo. The doubts the coach has have to do with the wingers, two of the players between Manfredini, Behrami and Pandev will be in the starting line-up. In attack it has been confermed the pair Di Canio-Rocchi.

Rossi happy: "A beautiful group. Everyone silent for the derby"
Posted 16 Oct '05, 19:57 PM

"We will enjoy the victory against Fiorentina, the derby will be in seven days of time". Delio Rossi prefers the tactic of small steps. The coach of Lazio is thinking about the fourth win in as many home games, he doesn't care about five points Lazio has more than the giallorossi.
"I'm not interested in the classifica: I'll start to take a look at in March. I don't know what's happening at Roma. I'm thinking about Lazi today it was a difficult match and we won it. The celebrations of the players? It was only due to something personal and I won't intend to talk about it here."

The derby, however, has already started. Roma is doing poorly, Lazio is flying. But as a surprise Delio Rossi announces a press silence for the players. They won't be talking about the capital derby. The coach judges positively the gesture that DI Canio made at the end of the game when he turned to the Curva Nord and showed the sign of seven. That many days separate Lazio and Roma from the derby. "We all know what the derby against Roma means. Winning it is like getting a bonus. Di Canio's gesture? It is necessary to express the rivality without over-reacting. We still have to inform ourselves about the press silence, but I think it's the players' decision and not the club's. We only have one way of playing: the wind will take the talking away".

Lazio-Fiorentina: Post match comments
Posted 16 Oct '05, 22:13 PM

Delio Rossi: “Today we played a great game against a side that proved its worth. Apart from about 20 minutes of the match, we had the initiative. We know the Rome derby is a very important tie for the fans, but we are relaxed and will keep going along our path.”

Cesare Prandelli: “In the first half Lazio put us under pressure, then we did better after the break. Angelo Peruzzi was extraordinary, especially in his stoppage-time save on Luca Toni. We found it difficult to get back the Serie A tempo after international duty and must learn from that.”
