Juan Pablo Carrizo gave a long and interesting interview to Lalaziosiamonoi.it. The former goalkeeper for biancoceleste focused of course on the challenge next Saturday against Reja’s team: “We play at home, it is very necessary that we try to get the three points. We have to consider the fact that Lazio is an important team, with Klose, with Keita, in midfield there is quality like Biglia and Ledesma. We have to be very careful, then maybe Saturday we’re going to take control of the game and we have to be more closed in the field because the stakes are important for both teams. A final for the Europa League? I think so, at this time we face every game like a final because we are in a time when we battle to maintain a positive streak. Saturday night will be an important game for us because if we can win Lazio will be a little further from and we will be closer to the qualification for Europe…”
Against Milan the performance was not great, a lot of regret. What do you think you did wrong in the derby?
“The problem was probably the approach, the character aspect. We were not able to be incisive in our passing, to get to the goal, creating chances, this put us in difficulty during the game. Milan tried to put us in difficulty with that shot of Kaka which hit the bar, then there was a free kick and then the goal arrived. It took something more from us, it is a game in which the fans expect a reply from us, we have too look at ourselves and keep working.”
Hernanes will be facing Lazio for the first time since he left. Have you talked about that? What are his feelings?
“I have not talked to him about this game. I remember my feelings when I went on loan to Catania and I faced Lazio, I think that for him the first time will be a little complicated because the emotions take over, the beautiful memories that will never be erased. Yet he is a great professional, I am sure he will be able to put his emotions aside and think only of Inter, which is his future, in those 90 minutes. It will be nice also for his teammates to see him on the opposite side, a player of his quality is good for football. I hope he can do a great performance because in this way we as a team we will be able to embarrass Lazio.”
You know Klose very well, now give some advice on how your defenders should mark him?
“Everyone knows Miro is a great champion. His greatest virtue is his coolness in front of goal, the movements in the last few meters. I have not given specific advice to my teammates because I think they already know how to try to stop him, but if there would be a discussion these days I will give some advice because I want us to win this game.”
Have you talked to any of your former teammates, maybe joking about the importance of this challenge?
“This week I have not talked to anyone, but I kept a good relationship with Lulic, with Ledesma, El Tata Gonzalez, Andre Dias, I talk to them often. Usually we joke around, but this week everyone is thinking of the game, we respect each other and try not to disturb the other (laughs).”
