Sarri Admits Making Noslin ‘Fault’, Rants at Roma Derby Timing: “I Won’t Show Up”
Sarri Admits Making Noslin ‘Fault’, Rants at Roma Derby Timing: “I Won’t Show Up” Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri warned about taking a stance should the Lega Serie A officials schedule the Derby della Capitale at lunchtime. The 67-year-old was pleased with his team’s last-gasp victory over Cremonese , but he took the opportunity to discuss what’s to come, including the Derby della Capitale. Maurizio Sarri Outraged by Suggested Roma vs Lazio Time Slot The manager was already irritated by the fixture’s early kickoff in September, but the organizers have a mind to adopt a similar time slot for the second edition, which will take place on May 17 due to security measures and the Italian Open (a tennis tournament held at the same sporting facility as the Stadio Olimpico).
Player Ratings: Cremonese 1-2 Lazio – Unplayable Noslin Steals the Show In his post-match interview (via LazioNews24 ), Sarri threatened not to show up for any media commitments related to the Roman Derby. The dates of the Italian Open have been known for two years, and the final rounds are supposed to be played simultaneously as well. If those who draw up the schedule at the league don’t understand that, they should resign immediately.
At the start of the season we played the derby in 37-degree heat, now they want us to play it in May at 12:30. It’s an insult to Rome, to both Roman clubs, to the fans, and someone has to be held accountable. I hope they don’t make us play at that time—whoever even proposed it should go.
I certainly won’t show up; I won’t do interviews in protest. I’ll go to the bench, then I’ll get up and leave. I’d like to ask the league why they didn’t schedule Inter–Milan at 12:30.
Lazio Substitutes Made the Difference Against Cremonese Back to the match, Sarri believed that his substitutions played a decisive role in turning the result upside-down in the second half. We started well, took control of the game with ease, even in building from the back. The first half was more organized than the second, but we lacked ruthlessness in the final 20 meters.
