After watching his ‘new look’ Lazio outfit fall into further crisis as they slipped into the relegation zone this afternoon following a disastrous 1-0 defeat to Catania., coach Davide Ballardini refused to throw in the towel.
“The situation is worrying but we knew this before today,” he declared to SkySport shortly after the game.
“We are convinced that we have the tools to get out of trouble,” he continued.
“I have full intention to remain here as coach but you will have to ask the club about my future.
“In the first half we played extremely well, creating five or six chances to score. After the break we weren’t as tonic and as a result Catania cut off our legs with a killer goal.
“In defence both [Giuseppe] Biava and [Andres] Dias played extremely well. Maybe in the middle of the park [Thomas] Hitzlsperger had a little more difficult to gel with the rest of the side.
“If we made changes, we did so because we had few other choices. With many key players out injured this season I have been forced to make adjustments to the formation during the course of the season.”
The tactician was then probed as to the situation surrounding Cristian Ledesma, who had hoped to feature against the Etnei after training with the Biancocelesti first team during the week.
“Ledesma is a great player and he is part of the squad of 35 players that we have. If he decides to put himself at the disposal of the club, we will be very happy.”
