# Baroni Urges Lazio to Swarm on ‘Wounded Milan’, Hints at Ultra-Attacking Lineup ## Maurizio Sarri’s Side Aiming to Exploit Rossoneri’s Injuries ### Sarri’s Lazio Face Weakened Milan After a disappointing start to the season, Lazio are looking to make a statement against a depleted AC Milan side on Sunday. The Biancocelesti have won just one of their opening three Serie A matches, while Milan have two wins and a draw. ## Rossoneri Missing Key Players However, Milan will be without a number of key players for the game, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Olivier Giroud, Rade Krunic, Alessandro Florenzi, and Junior Messias. This has led Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri to call on his team to take advantage of Milan’s weakened state. ## Sarri Hints at Attacking Approach “Milan are a strong team, but they are also wounded,” Sarri said in his pre-match press conference. “We need to take advantage of their absences and play with courage and determination. We want to attack them from the first minute and put them under pressure.” ## Lazio’s Attacking Options Lazio have a number of attacking options at their disposal, including Ciro Immobile, Pedro, Luis Alberto, and Felipe Anderson. Sarri has hinted that he could field an ultra-attacking lineup against Milan, with Immobile, Pedro, and Anderson all starting. ## Key Battleground in Midfield The key battleground in the match is likely to be the midfield, where Lazio will need to control the tempo of the game and prevent Milan from playing their own game. Milan’s midfield is likely to be led by Franck Kessie and Sandro Tonali, while Lazio will have the experience of Lucas Leiva and Danilo Cataldi. ## Lazio’s Recent Form Lazio have shown some signs of improvement in recent weeks, beating Spezia 6-1 in the Coppa Italia and drawing 2-2 with Juventus in Serie A. However, they will need to be at their best to beat a wounded Milan side at the Stadio Olimpico. ## Milan’s Injury Crisis Milan’s injury crisis is a major blow to their hopes of challenging for the Serie A title this season. Ibrahimovic is out for the next few months with a knee injury, while Giroud is also a doubt for the Lazio game. The Rossoneri will need to find a way to cope without their key players if they want to stay in contention. ## Lazio’s Opportunity Lazio have a great opportunity to make a statement against Milan on Sunday. The Rossoneri are weakened by injuries, and Sarri’s side will be looking to take advantage of that. If Lazio can play to their strengths and exploit Milan’s weaknesses, they will be confident of getting a positive result.
