Grosso: Matic can help the team grow, Sassuolo needs 11 Lions

September 15th In the third round of Serie A held early this morning, the newly promoted Sassuolo defeated Lazio 1-0 at home. After the game, Sassuolo coach Grosso was interviewed by Sky Sports.

Sassuolo suffered losses in the first two rounds of Serie A, losing to Napoli and Cremonese respectively, but in this game you won the first victory in the Serie A this season

In order to achieve a satisfactory result, we must play a wonderful game, and today we did it. We have performed very well in many ways, and I would like to congratulate all the players on this.

midfield veteran Matic joined Sassuolo this summer and immediately became the main force of the team. He continued to start in this game. What do you think of his performance?

Matic has a personality that exceeds our expectations and we have to support him, he is an excellent player who can help our team grow.

Sassuolo's lineup has changed a lot this summer

We are a young team, and the personnel have changed a lot and we need to restore confidence. It's not easy to do this in Serie A, but we also have many positive aspects. Why was

defender Valukiwitz replaced early after halftime?

Valukiwitz felt a little uncomfortable, so this was a forced substitution. We have to recognize each other on the court and continue to work hard in training. Today we remain resilient at a critical moment and finally won.

What is your biggest gain in this game?

I always ask the team to have courage, and we need a lot of courage to compete with a strong team. If it weren't for that amazing save from Muric, we might have conceded the ball and got into trouble. We want to achieve our goals and show our courage in different environments, we have to look up our heads and the players support each other and help each other. Sometimes we play well, sometimes we don’t play well enough—like the game against Cremonese. But I agree with Berardi: He said 11 lions are needed on the court.
