Lazio star Ciro Immobile apologised to the fans for the team’s painful 4-1 loss to Hellas Verona yesterday.
Speaking in an interview with Italian radio broadcaster Lazio Style Radio (via LazioNews24) after the game, the 31-year-old Italian striker expressed his disappointment at the result in the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
We are very disappointed with the attitude and the result. We didn’t give everything today. We are sorry for the fans and for what they saw.
We need to improve, especially away. We need to find consistency.

The Lazio striker highlighted how the squad were working to understand why they were having these issues with consistency.
We are trying to understand what is happening. We believe in the work of the coach, also because in some games we have seen the results.
It takes time for changes, but that can’t be an excuse. I’m convinced of the character of this team, but now we can’t pull it out.

Finally, Immobile touched on the work that the squad will carry out in order to improve and continue their growth under coach Maurizio Sarri.
Now we could use a positive streak to find serenity and to assimilate more easily what the coach asks of us.
Now however we have to roll up our sleeves, because there is still time and the season is long.
We have an immediate opportunity to make up for it. I think the team has decided to go into a retreat.
The 31-year-old Immobile, who is contracted to Lazio until 2026, scored the team’s only goal of the game in their 4-1 loss yesterday, with his effort amounting to little more than a consolation.
The Italian striker has scored eight goals and provided two assists in eight Serie A appearances so far this season, consistently finding the back of the net despite the team’s difficulties.
