Lazio ruins Max Allegri’s 500 Serie A benches who nevertheless remains optimistic

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Lazio beat Juventus in extremis in the 30th Serie A match on the day of Igor Tudor’s debut on the biancoceleste bench. The decisive goal came in mid-recovery on 93’: Guendouzi crosses into the center where Marusic arrives and his header pierces Szczesny,

Second consecutive win for the biancocelesti while Juve, which has not won in four games, still has 8 points on the fifth-place finisher, Roma, which però has one game less. Here are the words of bianconeri coach Massimiliano Allegri after the match.

"The numbers say we are doing badly, we need to continue working on the fifth to hit the Champions goal, we will hit it. I don&#39t blame the boys for anything, we made technical mistakes and handled the last two balls badly. We are sorry". 

"We have to believe it becauseé we still have some points and there are games to play (eight, ed). There'è little to talk about, only to do, be angry and sorry and think about the game on Tuesday; against the same opponent".

" We left points on the road, the boys were devastated but they must be proud of the season. The derby d'Italia lost? Hard to find causes, the boys must have confidence in their qualities; becauseé they are doing well"

“Chiesa was returning from the national team, on Tuesday we play again. At that moment I preferred to put someone fresh, not è a question of changes but to get out of this moment". 

“The 500 benches in Serie A? I did not think I would celebrate them by losing at the last second, thank you for the compliments but we have to move forward because we are still in the running for everything. The fans have never failed, there are times when everything succeeds and others when nothing succeeds".
