“I like these situations, because since July we have had a lot of difficulties and injuries, but the team is full of enthusiasm, so I enjoy the everyday. Of course, during the match I get angry because we make technical mistakes and are not up to the level of other teams, but I really like training.
We were delighted that over 40,000 people came to the Stadio Olimpico and created a real sensation. It was nice for the boys, because after the last home match they were upset, even humiliated. And it was necessary.
This is an elimination tournament. We progressed, but we didn’t even have time to enjoy the success to the full, as we have another very difficult match this weekend.
It’s true, Bašić came with great prospects, but partly due to our fault, partly due to his own, he lost his way a little. I had no hesitation in welcoming him back, and he is repaying us with important performances. In terms of movement, he is one of the most reliable players we have, if not the most reliable.
If we get to the end of the season and feel we have seven or eight players we can rely on and bring in three or four more to strengthen, that will be a success. If we can lay the foundation, it will already be important for the club. We hope to continue this development process,” Football-Italia quoted Sarri as saying.
