Edy Reja is a 360-degree what is said to Lazio Style Radio. From the passion for good wine, Lazio strategies to bring this closer to that dream called Champion's League. In private life as in football, always following, and only his way. The life of Roman technical Friulian winds through the moonlight walks, cinema, theater, but especially Lazio, so that is not allowed even to rest on Monday, at least mentally, "I meditated on the game against Bari and the next engagement with the Cagliari. We expect with the grudge and we must get prepared because sarà una gara difficilissima”. Come un direttore d’orchestra dirige i suoi ragazzi e si prepara a stupire con un gran finale: l’Inter è a soli due punti dai biancocelesti e la vittoria contro il Bari ha permesso di archiviare con successo la prima delle tredici finali che aspettavano (ora sono dodici) la Lazio: “Abbiamo fatto un’ottima prestazione nel primo tempo, ma concretizzato troppo poco rispetto al numero di occasioni avute e sofferto troppo nelle battute finali. Ma sono soddisfatto dei tre punti e delle battute d’arresto delle inseguitrici. Dobbiamo continuare così, d’ora in avanti saranno tutte finali”.
Quell’inaspettato quanto sfortunato infortunio di Muslera nel riscaldamento pre gara ha lasciato spazio a Tommaso Berni, ma anche al riaffiorare di spettri che lo scorso anno avevano fatto temere il peggio: “Non mi era mai successo e ricordando la partita dello scorso anno contro il Bari ho pensato ‘Cominciamo bene!’. Ma Berni si è fatto trovare pronto, ho grande stima di lui sia come portiere che come uomo, è un grande leader nello spogliatoio”. Da stratega a sommelier, sempre con il solito umorismo di chi si prende sul serio ma mai troppo, il mister biancoceleste scherza sugli eccessi culinari del secondo portiere della Lazio: “Berni organizza le cene, seleziona i vini e le grappe. Infatti lo metto tutti i giorni sulla bilancia perché qualche bevutina in più se la fa! Io non bevo molto, I prefer to taste the wines. Lazio fans to suggest a strong wine, an Amarone. "
Despite criticism and boos rained from the stands at the Olimpico, with determination and high Reja his thirty years of technical experience, seems to have found that balance and that much sought after squaring of the circle gifts that not only results but also good performance "Defense is a security Dias and Biava are doing a great championship, even with Lichtsteiner and Radu who often arrive at the bottom and a cross. But our defense is the case with the attackers: they are a good filter, the team plays short and then leave and find the depth. Thanks to the pair of directors Ledesma-Matuzalem then we have found balance for the construction of the game and if Hernanes trocar moves well on the whole operation benefits from it. It is an attitude that I had already proposed but is made possible with Gonzalez on the flanks and Sculli that help both in the offensive and defensive. We must realize more. "
The large pink in the Lazio and has to be important not to give even an inch in the latter end of the season, could prove a double edged sword with the return of many injured players who want to earn a place holder; But this is not a problem that seems to worry Reja: "When things go well who does not play is quiet. The boys are smart and tolerant, there is harmony in the locker room and realize that they fall in the field only eleven. "
When things are rather less well, in a square soft and warm as the one in Rome, do not hesitate to rain criticism, especially when the bench is for the idol of the fans as Hernanes Zarate: "Hernanes I have to manage, not an optimal condition and I would not collapse at the very end. Unfortunately he never had a break but I can not say 'go to rest in the mountains fifteen days'!. We have entered into the heart of the championship and it is normal that it has to deal with during the year by replacing it when necessary. "
Sunday against Lazio will face the second final of this championship. After the success against Bari, Reja's men face the Cagliari Donadoni, orphan of Matri but with the quality of Cossu, "Cagliari has so much quality and Biondini accounts are good players so that the latter, as Lazarus, was tried by Lazio even if you have not done anything. The two stations are good, then there are Acquafresca forward Nene. Now there is Matri, but the player I fear most is Cossu: has technical know finalize and make good assists. It can get in trouble. "
Talk about courses and applications history: in 2004 sulla panchina del Cagliari c’era proprio Edy Reja, che riuscì a vincere con i sardi il campionato di serie B e a guadagnarsi la promozione in seria A: “Ho ricordi stupendi di quell’esperienza, abbiamo vinto il campionato facendo 81 gol. Poi avevo un rapporto splendido con Zola, il capitano. Era il tramite con lo spogliatoio, non ho mai trovato una persona così, un grande uomo ed un grande calciatore”.
Ormai i biancocelesti hanno di fatto gettato la maschera: da Ledesma a Lichsteiner, allo stesso Edy Reja. La parola Champion’s League non è più proibita nel quartier generale della Lazio ed ora bisognerà tenere gli occhi aperti sulle avversarie dirette: “Inter e Milan lasciamole da parte, Juventus and Roma have important organic and yellow and red with the new coach I do not make mistakes anymore. Udinese and Napoli, but chasing a team that is better. He's playing better football, there is enthusiasm and has two players as straorinari Lavezzi and Cavani. For the sake I really hope you save those who deserve more, even if I have a little 'more than sympathy for Brescia since I spent two years there. "
