Baroni: Only by playing as expected can we achieve important results

With Isaksson's goal, the "Blue Eagles" Lazio defeated the "Goddess" Atalanta 1-0 in the 31st round of the 2024/25 Serie A. Baroni said that his team cannot make mistakes in the next game and insisted that only by playing as expected can they get the ideal result.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Isaksson received Dele Bashirou's header and shot into the goal, helping Lazio take the lead 1-0.

In the end, Lazio defeated Atalanta 1-0 away. After getting 3 points, Lazio is currently ranked 6th in the standings with 55 points.

Lazio coach Baroni said in an interview, “First of all, I want to talk about the team’s attitude and energy in the game. I want to congratulate the players. Sometimes the results of the game are not ideal, but we are united and proved it in this game. The new players made important contributions in this game, and others are gradually recovering, and we will have more rotation space next.”

"I never complain, but the tight schedule is not easy to cope with. We have limited time to prepare and now we have to focus on the final stage of the season."

Talking about striker Castellanos who returned from injury, Lazio said, "He is a very key player for us. We originally planned to let him play for about 20 minutes, but the trend of the game did not give us such an opportunity."

In addition, Lazio will travel to Bodø to challenge Bodø in the first round of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.

Baroni said, “We are still fighting for European qualification and league position because we made all the players feel important and I saw the right response from the team in the game. There is no room for mistakes in the next game, but we are ready, and only by playing the way we should can we get important results.”
