July 30 – 22:35 – MILAN

Third friendly and first defeat for Lazio in this pre -season. In Istanbul Sarri’s team surrenders of measure (1-0) to Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe. All in all, honorable for the biancoceleste formation since Fenerbahçe is clearly ahead of the preparation compared to Sarri’s team. In Türkiye, the championship begins on August 8, but above all Fenerbahçe is expected next week by a delicate and decisive Champions League preliminary with Feyenoord. And that the Turks are already in the climate official games can be understood from the approach to the challenge, which is decidedly more intense than that of the biancocelesti. Especially in the first twenty minutes it is the home team that makes the game, Lazio must suffer. But he holds quite well, giving only a few shots from outside the hosts. On the most dangerous of which, in 18 ‘, Provedel must show off a nice parade to avoid the worst. Fenerbahçe checked again at the last of the two minutes of recovery with a header from the former Sassuolo Muldur which ends up just on the side.

fatal error

The recovery begins with a less passive Lazio than the first half, thanks also to the changes made by Sarri. But, just in its best moment, the biancoceleste team conveys the goal that decides the game. To provoke it is an error by Guandouzi who, during the construction phase from below, misses the support for Gila, effectively delivering the ball to En-Nesyri, who only has to offer it to Kahve us all only in the center of the area: for the captain of the Turks to put inside it is a kids game. Lazio tries to react, but with the passing of the minutes he begins to accuse the effort and cannot make himself really dangerous. Also because Fenerbahçe retreats its center of gravity and turns off any ambition of the biancocelesti in the bud.

comforting indications

Even if Sarri’s team defeats he still leaves the test against a good form and much more run. The positive notes mainly concern the defensive estate (Lazio is capitated only for Guendouzi’s error), a little less well for now the offensive phase (only two conclusions towards the opposing door). Sarri alternated all the men available, leaving with a formation that provided for a defensive line composed of Lazzari, Gila, Custgaard and Tavares in front of Provedel. Then in midfield Guandouzi, Rovella and dele-Bashiru, while the initial attack trident was chancellori-Castellanos-Zaccagni. In the second half, Cataldi (Per Rovella), Marusic (for Lazzari), Romagnoli (for Caner) and Vecino (for dele-Bashu) immediately entered. Then during the second half there was also room for Mandas between the posts (instead of Provedel), Hysaj and Pellegrini in defense (outside Gila and Tavares), Belahyane in midfield (for Guandouzi), while in attack the trident became Pedro-Dia-Noslin.
