The statements of the Biancoceleste coach, who spoke after the final whistle of the match directly from the Olimpico Grande Torino pitch
Speaking at the microphones of Dazn, Maurizio Sarri commented on the defeat of the Lazio against the Turin For 2-0. A goal in each half was enough for the Granata to knock out the Biancocelesti, who were never really in the game this afternoon. These are his words: “We are dead. We played a dull game, in favor of our opponents and we paid the consequences. Beyond the scoring opportunities, in the defensive phase we were always soft, too soft: a passive attitude that is not ours.
So far they had always performed at least decently. We must take note of this without getting discouraged 72 hours before another match. Italian Cup? If this match is the result of that thought we will be ready, but we would have made a big mistake. I have to be good at not making a drama out of it, my mind must go to the next one and not to a match lost against a more motivated opponent. We need to think about the path, in the Italian Cup we eliminated the two finalists of the last edition and Atalanta is a strong team.
There are moments when you fight for first place, when you fight not to be relegated and when you fight for ninth place: this is the only mentality we have to follow. The concern is linked to a situation in which the future seems nebulous, it is clear that it can take away enthusiasm. But if you want alibis I’ll give you a hundred. This is the situation and we need to find the strength to look forward. I don’t know if we’ll get anyone back for Wednesday. Yesterday they certainly weren’t. We’ll see in the next few days, someone could return from Tuesday”.
