Alberto Zaccheroni: Lazio Will Struggle Against Milan

The tactician thinks the Rossoneri strikeforce might be too much to handle for the Aquile.

Medley Lazio - Milan
Under-fire Serie A side Lazio host a revitalised Milan at the Stadio Olimpico today in what could be the last chance saloon for coach Davide Ballardini.

The Biancocelesti are without a win in the league since August 30 and suffered a humiliating 4-1 Europa League defeat at the hands of Villarreal in midweek.

And Alberto Zaccheroni believes the situation could further deteriorate when his two former sides meet this afternoon.

“It will be a very difficult game for Lazio,” he told Radio Incontro.

“Milan field a three-pronged attack and Lazio will need to keep the team tight, even though they will run some risks.”

President Claudio Lotito seems poised to swing the axe on Ballardini if Lazio fail to get maximum points from the clash with the Diavolo, but Zaccheroni disagrees.

“It’s difficult to replace a coach with the season in full swing, particularly one who has done so well in the past,” he mused.

“I think the Lazio camp must rally around the coach and the team. The boss is not the only culprit and I've seen that the fans have turned against the club.”
