Lazio-AZ, Sarri to Sky: “Exaggerated to come out from the bottom like this, on the way back…”

The words of the Biancoceleste coach at the triple whistle of the first leg of the Round of 16 of the Conference played against AZ

Bad defeat for the Lazio who falls victim toAZ Alkmaar at the Olympic Stadium. The first leg of the round of 16 of the Conference League goes to the Dutch who win 2-1 in comeback with goals from Pavlidis and Kerkez. At the end of the game Maurice Sarri spoke to the microphones of Sky to analyze the performance of your team. These are the words of the Biancoceleste coach.

“We put our all into it tonight, because we did well in the first part of the game. Then we changed our attitude by dribbling in our area, risking something too much and allowing the opponents to do what they’re best at. Instead of continuing along the same lines of the first part of the match we allowed them to reach the area. Sometimes we got out well and went back to the goalkeeper, in the long run you end up risking something. We exaggerated the concept, sometimes with 3 passes we had knocked out three opponents and we came back from the goalkeeper. It’s okay to come out from behind, even if it’s tough on this pitch, but today it seemed like an exaggeration. On the assistant to Immobile? Like all coaches, I would buy 50 players, the conditions probably didn’t exist and we looked for solutions alternatives. To have a player take Immobile’s place, he must be a player of great value, or else he’s useless. In the return, you need to have the strength to and 90′ like tonight’s first 20-25, in that case we can recover it there.”
