“Provedel’s goal? I think it’s not a lucky episode, but an act of justice: we didn’t deserve to lose, we did much better than Atletico in the first half and yet we finished behind. In those cases there is the habit of abandoning to bad luck, to say that this year is going badly, and instead we stayed in the game, and it wasn’t easy.” Thus Maurizio Sarri, coach of Lazio, in a press conference after the daring draw achieved by his team against Atletico Madrid in the first round of the Champions League. “It’s a very deserved point, won with a good performance, I remember that in the last three matches we faced Napoli, Juve and Atletico Madrid, three of the strongest teams in Europe, obtaining a victory, a defeat and a draw”, adds the technician. “Is our maneuver slower than last year? It’s because the ground conditions are disastrous, you can’t do it with more than three touches. Not even last year at this time were we in great condition, we lost to Midtjylland – he continues Sarri – This year we have big responsibilities in the first two knockouts of the season (with Lecce and Genoa, ed.), but we have shown that we can compete on equal terms with the strongest teams.” Closing on Celtic, their next opponent in Glasgow: “It’s of fundamental importance, we still have to study the opponent.”
