Francelino Matuzalem has called Davide Ballardini's coaching methods into question, saying the players "don't understand it."

Lazio are two points off the relegation zone as they prepare to welcome fellow league strugglers Catania on Sunday. The Brazilian midfielder is currently injured, but feels Ballardini's constant changes have played a part in the slide.

"I don't know what tactics he will play with the new players. Honestly, he changes the module every Sunday and it's hard to understand how we will play from now on," he told Leggo.

"It's difficult even for us as we don't understand anything. He will try to play the best team, and we really need it as we cannot make mistakes on Sunday."
