Manuel Lazzari shared his disappointment over his team’s defeat against Udinese but says that Lazio is ready to bounce back with a victory against Borussia Dortmund.
Speaking to Lazio Style Channel, Lazzari analyzed the Biancocelesti’s loss for Sunday’s Serie A clash. He believes that the lack of speed and reaction to Udinese’s defensive-minded approach contributed to the defeat.
All eleven of their players were behind the ball and defended well. They were also very physical, so it became complicated to create chances.
Lazzari admits that the team is tired after the highly congested run of figures. In spite of this, he says, that the players can’t make any excuses about losing to a team, technically rated much worse than Lazio.
This defeat will certainly give us the strength to move forward.
It’s now a matter of concentrating on the vital clash against Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League. A positive result could see Lazio qualify for the knock-out stage with one game in hand.
Lazzari says that the team needs to regroup and attempt to play their natural game. He believes that the Biancocelesti should aim to finish first in the group.
In closing, Manuel Lazzari asserts that if there is a single benefit to come from the defeat, it is to show how Lazio’s players respond after a heavy defeat.
