Lazio, Maurizio Sarri keeps attention high

“We don’t look at the name, but at the substance,” said the biancoceleste coach

Maurizio Sarri spoke in the press conference on the eve of the Europa League match against Sturm Graz, after the first leg in Austria ended in a goalless draw.

The biancoceleste coach first expressed his feelings about the opponents: “They have impressive physical numbers, they are the only team that from the point of view of athletic statistics has done better than us. We don’t look at the name, but at the substance.”

“In my opinion in Florence we played a good game from a technical point of view but not well from a tactical point of view, we were too low and conceded too much. Some times I was satisfied with the performance after defeats, I always say what I think,” continued the coach of the Capitoline team.

Finally, a thought on the many market rumors circulated in recent days about Serbian midfielder Milinkovic-Savic, author of three goals and as many as seven assists in the first nine days of Serie A: “It seems to me that there is too much talk about it. After winning 4-0, a newspaper put Milinkovic on the front page talking about the market. In the last few days Ganna has set an incredible record, but to get news I had to go to specialized sites, think how distorted the vision of the press in Italy is. Milinkovic has room for growth, just look at the number of lost balls at the end of the game.”
