Igli Tare and Mauricio Sarri have not often been on the same page. The sports director and the coach of Lazio spoke a few hours apart about the seasonal objectives, expressing different views. But this is not something new.
In the past, Tare and Sarri have clashed over different players. Clashes that culminated in the case of Kamenovic, whom the coach did not want in 2021 and he remained without playing for 6 months, because he did not federate. Now the sporting director and the coach clash over the value of the team and its ambitions.
Last week, Sarri often said that it would be a miracle if Lazio would rank in the top 4. Tare doesn't think so.
"Going to the Champions League is not a miracle, - he said, - it is our objective, we have stated it since the beginning of the season. There are difficulties, because many teams have this objective, I agree with Sarri on this, but I believe that Lazio cards in order to fight for the top 4".
After the victory in the field of Sassuolo, Lazio holds the 5th place, -3 from Juventus and Inter and -4 from Milan. Regarding Tara's statements, after the match, Sarri said: "The manager speaks about what he thinks, I have an autonomous brain and I say my thoughts. When I say that it takes a miracle to get to the top 4, I take something into consideration.
I think that some teams are more complete than us. Then, if the boys play like they did with Sassuolo, we will have our say. Everyone has their own opinion, then it is the president who 'cuts off the bull's head'".
