The head coach of "Lazio" Maurizio Sarri shared his expectations for the match of the 18th round of the Italian championship against "Sassuolo".
"We need to mentally stay in the game for 100 minutes of the match. I can see that Lazio are training very well, but because of the consequences of these results, the players have lost some of their enthusiasm and look sad. It is as if physically we hold on well until the end, but our thoughts become passive.
I am confused about this situation. I led a team that had fourth place as their absolute best result. Now we're five, and people are acting like it's a disaster. The last 10 years have shown that Lazio have not qualified for the Champions League very often in history. If we reach the top 4, it will be an amazing campaign," Sarri was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
We will remind that in the last two matches, the Romans lost their advantage, leading in the account with "Lecce" (1:2) and with "Empoli" (2:2).
