In a press conference held at the Mapei Stadium, the young striker Romano Floriani, following Lazio's victory against Sassuolo on the ninth matchday of Serie A, shared his feelings on the decisive goal. Floriani said he felt "indescribable" emotions, saying he almost threw himself into the fans when he scored. The player underlined the importance of not being overwhelmed by class and maintaining concentration, relying on the technical director to guide the team with the right mentality.
The context of the match was characterized by a contrast between Lazio's attacking pace and Sassuolo's solid defense. Floriani recalled the difficulty of facing an opponent who tended to focus on their wingers, describing the pressure that the coach imposed on the players to give their best, "110%", and to maintain a positive attitude. The goal, which gave the team an advantage, was greeted with enthusiasm by both the player and the crowd, with Floriani imagining his mother's reaction, who would probably jump off the couch.
During the conference, Floriani highlighted the atmosphere of lightness that characterizes the team, stating that "we have a lot of fun, but we also know when it's time to be serious". He expressed gratitude for the support of the fans and for the opportunity to play in front of them, reiterating that the team must continue with a "hungry head". The young striker also underlined that, despite the joy of the goal, he is already ready to return to the pitch the following day, since "we cannot relax".
Regarding the standings, Floriani recalled that Lazio must not "go to their heads", but must continue to work with the same determination. He also mentioned the need to maintain focus during the week, in which the team experiences a “magical” atmosphere. The player concluded his interview with an invitation not to lose sight of long-term objectives, highlighting that the team must remain focused on future performances.
With the victory against Sassuolo, Lazio finds itself in a favorable position in the standings, but Floriani asked not to let the victory get too heated. The team, under the guidance of the coach, will continue to focus on constant improvement and balanced management of emotions, with the aim of consolidating its position in Serie A and preparing for the next challenges.
