Despite Hugo Lloris seemingly edging ever closer to an exit from Tottenham to head to Lazio, not everyone at the Serie A side are overly thrilled with the idea.
The main one of those is Maurizio Sarri, who is quite important, being the manager and all, as Gazzetta dello Sport state the Italian ‘worries’ that the Frenchman’s arrival could ‘increase’ the pressure on Ivan Provedel.
The goalkeeper was voted Serie A’s best in his role last season, and they don’t want to affect that confidence in any shape or form, but the looming shadow of the 36-year-old could do that.
However, Claudio Lotito, the club’s president, sees it very differently, and believes that with his club back in the Champions League, they need all the experience they can get.
When it comes to that, few have as much as the Tottenham player, who boasts over 70 appearances in the competition, a World Cup win and a World Cup final, among others, under his belt.
Lotito also believes that Provedel isn’t as weak mentally as Sarri thinks, and he can ‘manage all the pressures of the case’.
He also feels that Lloris’ experience could be beneficial for the 29-year-old, and he can ‘take pressure off rather than put it on’.
That’s why the club president ‘decided to take him’, even ‘in the face of Sarri’s perplexities and fears relating to the balance in the dressing room’.
