Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri didn't hold back after his team's dramatic late win, but it wasn't just the result on his mind. The fiery 67-year-old turned his attention to the upcoming Derby della Capitale—and the controversial kickoff time that has him fuming.

Sarri was pleased with Lazio's last-gasp victory over Cremonese, but his post-match comments quickly shifted to the derby against Roma, scheduled for May 17. The issue? A proposed lunchtime kickoff at 12:30 PM, a repeat of the early slot that already irked him back in September. With the Italian Open tennis tournament occupying the same Olympic complex, organizers are pushing for the early start due to security and scheduling conflicts.

"The dates of the Italian Open have been known for two years," Sarri fumed. "If those who draw up the schedule don't understand that, they should resign immediately. We played the derby in 37-degree heat earlier this season, and now they want us to play in May at 12:30? It's an insult to Rome, to both clubs, and to the fans."

The veteran coach didn't mince words, threatening a media boycott. "I won't show up for interviews in protest. I'll go to the bench, then leave. Why don't they schedule Inter-Milan at 12:30?"

Turning back to the match, Sarri credited his tactical changes for turning the tide. "We started well and controlled the game, but lacked ruthlessness in the final third. The substitutions made us messier—but also more dangerous."

One substitute stole the spotlight: Tijjani Noslin, whose unplayable performance sealed the win. For fans, it's a reminder that even when the schedule frustrates, the passion of Serie A never fails to deliver drama. Whether you're gearing up for derby day or just celebrating a hard-fought victory, make sure your kit is ready for every kickoff—no matter the time.
