The words of the Biancocelesti coach, speaking directly from the Olimpico, after the last minute win against Fiorentina.
“Ciro Immobile, in the last breath, was surgical from the penalty spot, giving his Lazio three points against Fiorentina. It was the third consecutive Serie A victory for the Biancocelesti. A last-minute goal erupting the atmosphere at the final whistle. At the end of the match, in an interview with Sky Maurizio Sarri analyzed his team’s performance:
“In the first half, we wasted a lot of chances because we regained the ball around 10 times but we didn’t convert any of them into opportunities. We made it a bit easier for them because we were playing tough against an aggressive team like them, this makes their task a bit easier. We need to do better in attacking the spaces.”
“The new players are integrating quite well. The problem is that with the integration of the new players, the performances of those who did very well last year have dropped. The team seems to be regaining its form, and we hope to continue this long chase.”
“I think football now-days is heading in a certain direction; the schedule is what it is, and there are many commitments. As I’ve said from the beginning, in terms of the squad, we are stronger than last year, and we need to prove that we are as strong as last year in the field.”
Immobile had a limited time because we needed to make other substitutions previously. Ciro needs to train; he seemed to be improving in the last two training sessions. He played 50 minutes a few days ago and 15 today. I just hope he can train consistently and get back to 100% fitness, he’s untouchable.
