Lazio attacker Isaksen: The differences between Sarri and Tudor?

Lazio attacker Gustav Isaksen expects instant changes with new coach Igor Tudor.

Tudor was named new Lazio coach yesterday after Maurizio Sarri's resignation last week.

Isaksen said, "My relationship with Sarri was good, even if it wasn't easy at the beginning, I didn't talk much with him, he wasn't really the type to talk much with the players. It was more through our captain.

"Sarri only talked about football and that's it. He wanted me to speak in Italian and little in English, luckily one of his collaborators spoke to me in the language I understood best. Sarri knew a little English, but he was not happy to speak it. There was a lot of tactics and I just had to get used to it. I've only recently started to understand this, so it's a bit annoying."

On Tudor, he continued: "I think my type of football suits me better than him. Obviously it took a few months before we understood what Sarri wanted. I think it will be easier with him here (Tudor).

"My teammate (Mateo) Guendouzi had him in Marseille, so he told us a little about him. He said that he plays a lot man on man, and he plays a bit with the same formation that they have here in the national team with a 3-4-2-1, so it will be a little different, but also exciting.

"Difference between Sarri and Tudor? Mister Sarri talked a lot about tactics, with Tudor I think we will give more intensity to our game."
