Kamada: I chose Lazio because of Sarri

Daichi Kamada admits he joined Lazio to work with coach Maurizio Sarri.

Kamada joined Lazio this summer in a Bosman deal from Eintracht Frankfurt.

"Maurizio Sarri was decisive in my choice to come to Lazio, a true tactician. I thought: play aggressive and precise football, it will be good for me and I will be able to grow as player. I want to play for him," said the Japan international.

On comparisons with for Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Kamada added: "I was struck by his movements.

"Obviously he and I have different styles of play and I think he is physically superior to me."
