Convincing test of Sarri’s team against an opponent later in the preparation: for the Turkish brace by Lucas Torreira, former Serie A

Journalist

August 2 – 22:30 – MILAN

Good tie for Lazio in the second and last friendly played in Istanbul. After the defeat of measurement (1-0) with Fenerbahce here is the most comforting 2-2 against Galatasaray, which also goes to the archive with some regrets, given that Sarri’s formation, in the lead 2-1, does not take advantage of two huge occasions to round off the score. The result, however, in these games matters relatively, much more important that the biancoceleste formation has highlighted great progress than the previous exits. While collecting two goals, Lazio has in fact confirmed that it has already had a good defensive estate, but in this case the construction plan has also been very convincing, with two goals made and at least five other sharp crashes created. All against a formation that is much forward in preparation (in a week in Türkiye the championship begins).

Lazio shot

Initially Sarri Schiente Mandas between the posts, the defense is made up of Hysaj, Marusic, Romagnoli and Tavares, the midfield trio is Guandouzi-Rovella-Del Basiru, the attack trio Cancellieri-Castellanos-Zaccagni. Galatasaray starts with great intensity, even too much. After a few moments there is a hard intervention by Torreira on Tavares who, if the game had been official, would have cost him at least a yellow. It is precisely the former Fiorentina and Sampdoria player who unlocks the game after 10 minutes. And incredibly (given his stature) he does it head. There is a punishment almost from the background line kicked by Sara who crosses the whole mirror of the door, without Mandas Bait, the ball arrives on the second pole where Torreira is all alone and has no difficulty putting on the net. The Turks continue to press until 20 ‘. They do not create great scoring opportunities, but keep Lazio nailed in its half of the field. After the Cooling break, however, Sarri’s team begins to take the field, the game becomes more balanced and scoring chances for the biancocelesti arrive. First tries Cancellieri, but he is stopped at the time of the shot from Torreira, then the draw of the draw arrives. Rovella corner, the head of chancellori who ends up on the knee of Sanchez: the detour puts out the goalkeeper Guvenc. Galatasaray tries to react with a shot from the distance of Bardakci on which Mandas arrives. Before the interval, however, Lazio is still making a big voice. First it is dele-Bashiru to touch the goal (Guvenc is overcome), then in full recovery the goal of overtaking arrives. This was made at the end of a lethal restart set by Castellanos and finished by Cancellieri.

The peer of the Turks

The second half begins with Sarri who changes half a team. Gila enter (for Hysaj, with Marusic who goes to the right), Pellegrini (for Tavares), Cataldi (Per Rovella), Vecino (for dele-Bashu) and Dia (for Castellanos). Lazio has undergone a great opportunity to go to goal again. Cross of Pellegrini on the second post where Cancellieri is alone, but hits badly and the ball ends high. Galatasaray responds with a shot by Sallai that Mandas manages to reject. In the quarter of an hour three other changes for Lazio: Mandas, Marusic and Zaccagni come out, proveddel, Lazzari and Pedro enter their place. Then at 20 ‘two other changes: inside Caner and Belahyane, outside Romagnoli and Guandouzi. At 22 ‘he is one of the new Biancocelesti entries, Pedro, to touch the goal. The Spaniard surpasses goalkeeper Guvenc, but his shot ends up outside. But Galatasaray also becomes dangerous: on Akgun’s shot, Provedel is forced to a not easy parade. The Turks insist and in half an hour they find the draw. Torreira still scores, this time with a shot from the edge that surprises Provedel. Sarri makes the last change: Noslin takes the place of Cancellieri. Galatasaray continues to press to look for the goal of the advantage. But it is Lazio who has an excellent opportunity with Dia who, at the time of the shot, is stopped by the new Unyay entrance. There could be the penalty, but a minute later there could be a penalty for the Turks for the intervention of Provedel on Akgun. Lazio a little in difficulty in the final. Provedel saves Jelert’s shot. But at 90 ‘Pedro is still touching the net with a shot that comes out very little. It ends 2-2.
