<p>“Juve more serene with Tudor. Motta, so much confusion. The next coach…”</p>

"There's no point in beating around the bush: Lazio-Juve is a match that will really change the race for fourth place . It will be decisive for both teams. Especially in the event of a victory: whoever gets the three points will have a serious say in qualifying for next season's Champions League." These are the words of Bruno Giordano . The former striker and Lazio icon (108 goals scored in 254 appearances between 1975 and 1985) has no doubts about the importance of the match that will be played at the Olimpico: "It's a fundamental crossroads for all the teams competing for the cups. " What kind of match should we expect? "It will be a balanced match. Both teams know how much is at stake, so I'm convinced that we will witness a close match that will be decided by an episode. In short, a 1-0 match. We'll see tomorrow who will win..."

Which of the two teams is better placed for the face-to-face match at the Olimpico?

"Neither Lazio nor Juve are at the top right now. It's also true that now only the points count. There's not too much to think about the game, but we have to focus on the essentials."

After a first half of the season at a high level, the Biancocelesti have dropped a bit…

“There was a decline in the return. The decline was purely physical in nature, with several players who, playing every three days, arrived a bit squeezed at the final rush. I am thinking above all of important players like Rovella and Guendouzi. A lot of Lazio's season depends on their performance in midfield. Now, after the elimination in the Europa League and with only one match a week, they will be fresher and more incisive than in the past few weeks, where they were a bit short of oxygen”.

Will the swing vote for Lazio still be captain Zaccagni?

“Lately Mattia hasn't been expressing his full value, but he remains one with the play and the shots available to be able to determine the result”.

What went wrong with Thiago Motta?

"I don't question Motta 's absolute value as a coach, but the way he approached one of the most important and successful clubs in the world. At certain levels you have to know how to position yourself to be able to get in tune with the environment. I noticed, however, a lot of confusion. After all, if you change the captain 7 times and always the formation, it means that there is no clarity."

Since he bet on 1-0 as a prediction, should we expect Castellanos or Vlahovic to wake up?

“ Taty and Vlahovic are two forwards who need to be served and triggered continuously to get the best out of them. Compared to his Serbian colleague, Castellanos participates more in the game and in the non-possession phase; while Dusan is a real offensive terminal. If you don't give Vlahovic the chance to shoot on goal , he will always struggle. He is a striker who needs a lot of supplies between crosses and inviting balls in the area. Only in this way can he make an important contribution, but it seems to me that Juve is struggling to play and create goal-scoring opportunities this year too”.

So should the number 9 in black and white be acquitted?

"In part, yes; because this Juve continues to struggle in terms of play. It is legitimate to expect more, but being able to do it is one thing."

Which absence will weigh most heavily on Juventus' ranks tomorrow?

“I say Koopmeiners. He remains an important player, even though he hasn’t always been able to express himself at his best this season.”

You know Mancini well, who is among the possible candidates for the Juventus bench for next season. Could he be the right man to relaunch the Old Lady?

"Mancini is a great coach, among the best around. Roberto knows how to manage important players and clubs: he is one of the coaches in the elite of international football and represents a guarantee at certain levels. Eventually he would be a right name for a big club like Juve".

The Lazio world is divided on Baroni's actions. Which side are you on?

“I completely disagree with those who criticize him. Baroni had an incredible season. Let's not forget that at the start of the year everyone thought Lazio would finish seventh or eighth in Serie A, but now they're there playing for a place in the Champions League. He's also had an excellent run in Europe, better than the various coaches who have led the Biancocelesti in recent years. That's why I think it's absurd to criticize him and question him.”

Finally, let's take a look at the Scudetto battle: can Napoli really do it against Champions League finalist Inter ?

"Napoli certainly has something less than the Nerazzurri in terms of squad. We must not forget that the Neapolitans came from a tenth place. Having said that, Napoli is still a great team, but they have lost a lot compared to the one that won the championship only two years ago. I wouldn't call it a miracle if they won the tricolor, but Conte is certainly doing a masterpiece".
