After the defeat against Bologna, Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri spoke to Sky Sport: “We had a good first half, I think we deserved the lead. The goal was taken too lightly but let’s talk about the approach afterwards 30 seconds, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence. We conceded goals in a too banal way, then we struggled to react. We reacted discreetly as a dribbler but not much in the area.”
Is there a goal problem at Lazio?
“It’s a fact and like all numbers they are not very debatable. We need to take them into consideration and reflect on them. The way of playing is similar to that of last year and therefore it is strange to understand why there is such a clear difference between the players in achievement percentages last year and this year.”
Domination in the first half but only one and a half chances.
“It’s not like I saw five goal opportunities for Bologna in the second half. The first half satisfied me, then it’s clear that we have more difficulty finding the goal than last year. Not capitalizing on the amount of play in the first half it’s a responsibility. After the match it was different. We got caught up in greed, we stretched the team. From a dribbling point of view we also did well but we didn’t have the distance we had before. The reaction could have been more vehement in terms of conquest of the opponent’s penalty area”.
Is Milinkovic-Savic missing more than you feared at the beginning of the season?
“From certain points of view it is a solution that we may lack. From the dribbling point of view, no. In certain situations you lack a solution of that type.”
Now there is the Champions League against Feyenoord.
“It’s an opportunity with risk. We’ve always found it hell in Rotterdam from a stadium point of view and I hope it’s the same thing here. I hope our people carry us into this match.”
