Sarri Identifies Biggest Lazio Issue: ”If I Had the Solution I’d Be at Real Madrid” Maurizio Sarri felt Lazio didn’t deserve to head back to Rome empty-handed following their 0-1 defeat to Fiorentina on Monday.

If it were up to me, I’d always want to play at a high level, because it’s difficult to pull a rabbit out of the hat in a single knockout game. Tonight I didn’t think the team played badly. The goal we conceded was a bit fortunate, and we could have scored early on.
