Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri admits he enjoys working with his current team.
Sarri was speaking after their friendly win against Galatasaray.
He said: "Let's see why the first match is usually easier than the second, the goal will be to do it again on Friday. The boys did ten days of double sessions in Formello with enthusiasm and a participation that we too from the staff have carried.
"I have rarely seen a team train at these levels without playing official matches.
"This has helped us a lot and for now we are happy both with the work done and with the atmosphere around the team."
