Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri was so furious with the team’s loss to Sassuolo that he cancelled training yesterday.
As reported by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 62-year-old Italian coach had a heated face-to-face meeting with his squad yesterday in Formello, clarifying the many things that went wrong in the 2-1 loss to the Neroverdi on Sunday.

Sarri, who first warned an enraged Claudio Lotito of his intention to speak alone to the squad, pointed out the positional mistakes made, namely with the defensive line led by Francesco Acerbi, as well as the excessive distances between the defence, midfield and forward line.

The 62-year-old Italian coach enjoys the unchanged trust of Lazio but he has three points less than previous coach Simone Inzaghi at this point in the season and the fact that the club sit 9th in the league table has not gone down particularly well.
Lazio’s last two games of 2021 are against Genoa and Venezia, two must-win games if the team want to have a slightly less bitter Christmas break.
