Friendlies, Serie A: Lazio, 1-1 with Meppen. Another draw against a third division team

Another disappointing draw for Lazio against a Serie C team. The biancocelesti did not go beyond the 1-1 against Meppen, an honest German third division team in the friendly played this afternoon in Marienfeld. The same score as the last friendly match played by Lazio in Auronzo di Cadore, against Padova, another Serie C formation. stop cannot but sound like an alarm bell. Also because, beyond the final score, Lazio appeared tired and apathetic and also distracted in several situations.

The match

—

Sarri’s team went under after just a quarter of an hour (goal by Kruger who exploited a mistake in the disengagement of Luiz Felipe), then equalized thanks to Muriqi about ten minutes later (comfortable touch on a cross by Felipe Anderson ), but then failed to complete the comeback. For the decidedly approximate game, but also for the imprecision of his players in the few occasions created: Muriqi hit the crossbar with the door wide open, Luis Alberto sent out from a very favorable position (also because he wanted to hit the ball with his heel instead of looking for a simpler solution). And then in the second half of the Immobile (at the first exit of the season) he missed a penalty, which Correa had won (also at the first this summer). The Argentine (another negative note of the day) was sent off in the final for a double yellow card. The first for a foul play, the second for protests. It is inevitable to reconnect his nervousness to the situation he is experiencing. He has asked to be sold, but his transfer has not yet materialized.
