Maurice Sarricoach of Lazio, after the defeat on the field of Juventus spoke on the microphone of DAZN: “We did well for 40′, without risking, without ever putting the game in Juventus’ hands. Going to attack a team that takes refuge in the last 30 metres, without an offensive point of reference, becomes complicated. The result is a a little wide. I don’t want to say that Juventus didn’t deserve the victory, but 3-0 seems to me a false result. But the responsibility is still ours, with that turnover coming out. If you lose a ball there it is clear that the line defensively can get into trouble. We suffered on turnovers in midfield or inside our own half, not on long balls. The feeling from the pitch is that on the first goal perhaps we were a little wide.”
Did you expect this Juve?
“Even before they defended low, but yes, that’s how I expected them. That the attitude was this yes, if they then went ahead even more and it was like this”.
Budget of this first part of the season? Will it find new solutions?
“In terms of mentality, I don’t like having plan A, B and C. I like having only one plan that works and carrying it to the end. Then there can be different attitudes in the game, but it depends on the moment of the game. At the moment we are in Champions League zone, a level position. It’s clear that for us, when there are 3-4 important players missing, the situation gets more complicated than for the others who are up there in the standings. We’re satisfied, I said it. It’s clear then that we won’t we have to be satisfied. We still have room for growth”.
Are you happy with the stop?
“It’s good for everyone, we all arrived short of nervous and mental energy, with many players in the infirmary, but this is the madness of this year’s calendar.”
Who will you be rooting for at the World Cup?
“I won’t even see it with the piss I got with this calendar to do the World Cup in Qatar”.
Will there be a different Lazio in January in men? Market reference.
“I don’t know. Seeing what Lazio has done in recent years, it seems to me that Lazio’s January markets have sometimes not even been done or not numerous. After the break, we’ll talk and see at the corporate level what the will will be. but historically that’s the way it is.”
