Head coach of Rome "Lazio" Marco Baroni commented on the defeat of his team from "Fiorentina" (1:2) in yesterday's match of the 5th round of the Italian championship.
Marco Baroni"A painful defeat that is difficult to explain. Both penalties in our goal were awarded against the spirit of the game. I have a thousand matches behind me (including the ones I've watched) and I don't recall seeing penalties like that. We have very good referees, but situations like this really put us in a difficult position.
It's a shame. But it's better to lose like that than to see your team play a mediocre game. In some situations we need more determination, but we will find it. The main thing is that the team is playing and creating creativity in attack. We have to teach the players to finish more effectively at the opponent's goal.
I don't know the data for this round yet, but before it we were first in the league in corners, in shots on goal and in the number of entries into the opponent's penalty area. And we continue on that path. So after this match I'm not worried about our game, I'm just sad", - said Baroni at the post-match press conference.
Recall, Lazio is the rival of Dynamo Kyiv in the 1st round of the main stage of the Europa League. The match between these teams will be held next Wednesday, September 25, in Hamburg.
