Lazio 0-3 Inter – Sarri criticises Biancocelesti attitude & sees similarities in Chivu’s Inter Maurizio Sarri delivered a candid and self-critical assessment after Lazio’s 3-0 home defeat to Inter Milan, placing the blame squarely on his own side’s attitude while acknowledging that Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final will demand a completely different approach from his players. According to comments in his post-match press conference at the Stadio Olimpico, via TuttoMercatoWeb , Sarri was in no mood to deflect responsibility, conceding that Lazio’s passive defensive displays for both first-half goals were unacceptable regardless of the opposition’s quality. Sarri vows Lazio will show different face in Coppa Italia rematch against Inter “The goal by Lautaro is a result of our approach,” Sarri said.
“We conceded from a throw-in with two opponents in the area, usually you have five or six attackers in there and today it was too easy. The second goal is the same thing: they made five passes in the area without anyone intervening. We start from the assumption that Inter have enormous quality, but with this attitude we concede two goals in the first half-hour against any team in Serie A.
” On Romagnoli’s red card, Sarri was measured. “In real time it is a yellow card foul,” he said. “But if you look at the still image it is a red, and this is the classic VAR dismissal.

We need to analyse this match without fear and understand that with this approach, there are no merits for Inter. It is our fault. ” Sarri also offered a frank explanation for the performance, making clear the players had not treated the fixture with sufficient respect.
