The dispute between Mattéo Guendouzi and Igor Tudor is not yet over… The midfielder, sidelined by the Croatian coach during his spells at OM and Lazio, has bitter memories of his experience under the orders of the 46-year-old coach. “When I signed for Lazio, of course, with Sarri, it was a style that I really liked. You always had to have the ball, offer good things on the pitch, attack hard towards the opposing goal… I progressed a lot with him tactically. And then, Tudor came back and it wasn’t the football that I liked the most, but hey, you have to know how to adapt to any style. But it’s sure that it wasn’t a very happy time.”wanted to recall the French international (9 selections, 1 goal) at the microphone of Free Foot.
Fortunately for Guendouzi, the Croatian’s time on the Lazio bench was short-lived, 11 small matches (6 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses) and then he left. In conflict with the Roman management, the former Juventus player, still as explosive, had been relieved of his duties despite more than satisfactory first results with Laziale. Today, the former OM midfielder has established himself as a key player for the biancocelesti, Igor Tudor is, for his part, for the moment without a club since his departure from Lazio.
