Danilo Cataldi is pushing Lazio into attack with new ambitions. “Improving for second place in the championship means doing something incredible. A beautiful and motivating aspect, but it is always the field that decides. Last year no one gave favorites Napoli nor second-place Lazio. However, the start of the calendar is difficult for us… “. The Biancoceleste market also aims for another principal. The 28-year-old Romanian midfielder is not afraid of losing ground in the role he took on at Sarri. “I am a person who believes that competition is always good, we face important competitions, the Europa League has already taken a lot of energy, and the Champions League because of the tension that will happen will take more away. Lazio must be a strong team, they need strong players regardless of their roles. If another way out arrives, so be it, we are here for Lazio’s interest, not for personal goals. Yes, then we all want to play, including me. There has to be real competition, and that’s good for the team.” Currently, Milinkovic’s departure has caused the Biancoceleste average to lose. “Lazio have lost an important player who achieved incredible numbers: he must be recognized for this. Sergi never said anything out of place, he always did his best, and I wish him good luck. I’m not the one who says what to do in the market, he has “Something important has been lost. We have to face many competitions, there is also a new format in the Super Cup, there are two more matches. We need a signal, a push. President Lotito is certainly working to help us.” Meanwhile, Arab sirens beckon the occupants. “I’ve seen Ciro as always, calm and happy. I’ve read something about the rumours, which I honestly don’t know about, and we never talk about them. I’ve seen the usual constancy these days: he’s our captain.”

Role

With Sarri, Cataldi completed his evolution from full-back to play-by-play. “In the past two years I have always played in the center position. Now I feel more suitable for this role, which is a difficult and expensive role. But I feel more comfortable there, then if there is a need and the coach asks me to play in other positions, I will not have any problems. Now it is a role Playing is the role that feels most to me. With Sarri, there is always something to learn. I compare myself to the coach and collaborators in every situation. If the national team is still a dream? I don’t know. Lazio now is my national team, then we’ll see. Maybe it’s a cliche. But In fact, now I want to focus here. Champions League opponents? I would like to play against an English team, with Lazio I have never been successful in cups.
