The Biancoceleste coach comes down hard after the defeat against Salernitana: “Now we’re in mid-table, we’ve lost our humility. Too many players below expectations, but Gyomber should have been sent off”
It is a very harsh Maurizio Sarri, even with himself, who analyzes Lazio’s defeat on the Salernitana pitch: “We did too little, there is no point in justifying ourselves with absences and with the sensational refereeing error because Gyomber was due for expulsion. Compared to last year we lost something, the performance isn’t up to par and everyone has to take responsibility, including me because if no one performs it’s my fault too. Immobile? We’re pleased for him, but if the team expresses itself like this… We ended up shooting too rarely, there’s something wrong.”

And then he adds: “This time it’s not about the calendar. There are too many players who aren’t performing like last year. So either it’s my fault or we’ve lost that mentality of great humility that we had. If Lazio plays like this, it’s a team that will end up in mid-table. We have to get back up to par. If this is Lazio, they can’t have high-ranking objectives. At the moment, if I were the president, I would intervene heavily. I’m not a supporter of retirements but something I would try to break the inertia. I don’t know what on a material level, but something needs to be done. There is something that isn’t working. I don’t know if it’s my fault. If I were sure, I’d go away. In the next few days I’ll do a evaluation and if I understand that it is my fault then I will draw the consequences and tell the president that he must change. For the moment, however, I have not gotten there.”
