Maurizio Sarri appeared at the Lazio training pitch for the first time after joining the club as a head coach. In the latest football news, we have covered his glimpse of coaching at the Italian club.
Maurizio Sarri has an interesting way of getting his Lazio players to pass to their feet at the training. He is found threatening them with a penalty for long balls. The former Napoli, Chelsea, and Juventus coach is well known for his ‘Sarriball’ or ‘Sarrismo’ style. This technique of handling balls is based on quick passing moves with only one or two touches.
At the training session, which was conducted yesterday, Sarri was heard giving very specific orders to Elseid Hysaj for trying a long ball. The new Lazio coach’s commands also apply to anyone else who attempted a long ball during their game between ranks. He said, “If I see you lift that ball one more time, I’ll give a penalty to the other team!”
The Serie A club SS Lazio will play a club-friendly match with Padova today at 10:00 pm IST. Maurizio Saari was sacked by Juventus on August 8 after the club got eliminated from the Champions League. He remained without a club until Lazio signed him in June. Watch Sarri training with Lazio and how he threatens players who try long balls.
