Maurizio Sarri he is satisfied with Lazio’s victory over Udinese, a success that brings the biancocelesti closer to qualifying for the Champions League: “We were playing a serious game even in the first half, the team was short and compact with a good level of sacrifice – he explains – I said to the guys who if we kept going like this we would have made a difference in the last 20 minutes and instead we did it right away. We need to score two points before going to the Champions League. It will be good to do them and then we’ll think about the rest otherwise we’ll pass a sick message to the team”. Vecino’s return to midfield was decisive: “In midfield all 3 played a good game. Felipe Anderson was booked, Pedro was fine so I expedited that replacement. We also put quality into the game in the second half.”
“With Ciro and Sergej at the maximum we would have had more points”
If Sarri could change something this season he would change this: “I would have liked to have had a normal season in terms of achievements for Immobile it’s a Milinkovic-Savic without World Cup. Ciro was able to play very little this year while Sergej paid for the World Cup. Not having these two players at their best forced us to lose a few points. A Lazio that needs to have an alternative to Immobile for the future: “I’d like there to be a young player to support him. Then the players are strong or not, the important thing is that he has the first characteristic”.
