The Lazio coach comments on Franchi’s defeat: “After a match like this I wonder if we have the mental and physical structure to handle four competitions, we played a flat match”. Luis Alberto also speaks: “We didn’t deserve the advantage and then we lost, we need to talk less and train more”
FIORENTINA-LAZIO 2-1 – REPORT CARDS
Disappointed but very realistic Maurizio Sarri in the analysis of Franchi’s defeat against Fiorentina at the end of a match during which Lazio did not seem particularly reactive: “The team didn’t react to anythingnor to the goal scored undeservedly, nor to their missed penalty, nor to the disadvantage – he says – It was flat the whole match on a mental level, we have some mitigating circumstances with some players who were not well, the risk was there but tonight it was too accentuated, this is the situation and The doubt arises as to whether we have the mental and material structure to do four competitions.” IThe path towards qualification for the Champions League is becoming more complicated: “We are in a difficult position, so I ask the team to play match after match, we hope to recover the injured players and return in better physical and mental conditions”
“We are less solid, I warned the team at half-time”
A Lazio that, this season, has often shown difficulty in getting games back on track once they were behind: “This season we have had long stretches with obvious offensive problems and therefore it becomes more difficult, now we are scoring a little more but we are a little less solid, it’s possible that it’s a bit of a lack of energy. During the interval I had spoken clearly to the team and I said that with that attitude we wouldn’t be able to win the match.”
Luis Alberto: “Let’s talk less and train more”
The goal scored did not serve to give away points, Luis Alberto comments on Franchi’s defeat: “I honestly don’t know what to say. Let’s talk less and train more – he explains – We have done little. I honestly don’t know what to say, it was a match where we didn’t deserve the lead in the first half. In the second we didn’t know how to take advantage of the counterattack we had to go 2-0 and then we conceded a goal. We lost way too many games and today was a very important race for the standings. This is football. We weren’t up to the task of the match and now we just have to forget about it and move on. We can’t give up, there are still too many games left, but the table is tough now.” Now Milan and then Bayern: “If we think about Bayern now we are crazy. If we don’t win against Milan it will be difficult to have the right confidence for the Champions League. Now we only have to think about Friday, we have to recover mentally and physically. We hope it will be a good match also and above all for our people. The responsibility for this moment lies with everyone, but it is also true that this It’s a strange year because every time the race arrives that could make you take a leap forward, instead it turns out to be the one that makes you take a step back.”
