The Biancoceleste coach: “In the final we thought more about bringing home the victory than scoring another goal. We’ll go to hell there…”. The attacker: “Opportunities not exploited thinking about the return but overall it’s going well”
Bayern Munich was supposed to be an insurmountable obstacle. True, everything will be decided on March 5 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, but Lazio will get there with a goal to defend after beating the Germans at the Olimpico with a penalty from Ciro Immobile. Maurizio Sarri on Amazon Prime commented on the Biancoceleste’s success: “Victory of application, of suffering, we beat one of the strongest teams in Europe but there is also regret because more could have been done. I liked the spirit of the team team, we moved with one mind, we were suffering, but there were also opportunities and we took advantage of one. In the last quarter of an hour we had more in mind to bring home the victory than to score a score wider. We had decided to lower the line of pressure, sometimes they pushed us even further back but the choice was not to extend the pitch. Bayern are strong, Tel, those who came off the bench, also impressed me. We will go to hell there but we will take the victory.”

“We worked and prepared the match to be able to have our say – says Ciro again to Amazon Prime -. I was convinced that we would put everything on the pitch and it showed, we gave our people a nice evening. We had untapped opportunities thinking about the return but overall it’s fine. Playing these matches gives enormous satisfaction and emotion, it’s what you’ve dreamed of since you were little. Now we have to bring the same enthusiasm to the championship. I saw Klose and Toni before the start, it was the bombers’ meeting, they brought well.”
