“Inter Milan Weren’t Extraordinary” – Sarri Rues ‘Soft’ Lazio & ‘Humiliating’ Atmosphere
“Inter Milan Weren’t Extraordinary” – Sarri Rues ‘Soft’ Lazio & ‘Humiliating’ Atmosphere Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri lamented his team’s weak approach as they suffered a 0-3 defeat against already-crowned Italian champions, Inter Milan. Inter Milan Beat Lazio By Three Unanswered Goals While this league fixture had little significance on the Serie A table, it served as a dress rehearsal for Wednesday’s Coppa Italia, which will pit the two teams against one another once more at the Stadio Olimpico. Lautaro Martinez broke the deadlock early on before creating the second for Petar Sucic.
Player Ratings: Lazio 0-3 Inter Milan – Rough Day for Romagnoli & Dele-Bashiru After the break, Alessio Romagnoli saw red, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan put the exclamation mark on the final result by adding a third goal. Maurizio Sarri Unhappy With Lazio’s Attitude In his post-match interview with DAZN and the following press conference (via Il Messaggero ), Sarri discussed the unpleasant outcome. The 67-year-old insisted that Lazio’s complacency was the most elemental factor behind the result, as Inter weren’t even at their best.
Nothing from today’s match should remain with us. Inter weren’t even extraordinary and they didn’t even push at full throttle. We paid for a dreadful approach — soft and passive.
We needed to be aggressive, attack spaces in possession the way we did when we were down to ten men. It was more our fault than the opponents’ merit. Lautaro’s goal was part of our overall approach.
We conceded with two opponents inside our penalty area. Usually Inter bring four or five there. The second goal came after five consecutive passes inside our own box without any response from us.
