Sarri: Lazio's Result Misleads Talented Performance

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri expressed dissatisfaction with the scoreline following his team's 0-2 loss to Atalanta, asserting that the result did not accurately represent Lazio's performance. He pointed out that Lazio generated 18 shots during the match, a significant improvement compared to previous games, indicating a positive trend in offensive output.

Sarri further argued that Atalanta's clinical finishing was the key difference, contrasting their efficiency with Lazio's misfortune in front of goal, including shots hitting the posts. He also suggested that a penalty awarded to Atalanta should have been disallowed due to an offside, and conversely, Lazio should have received a penalty for a handball incident.

Despite the defeat, Sarri praised the team's overall play and mentality, urging them not to give up on their remaining league objectives. He also addressed the fans' protests, understanding their reasons but requesting their presence at matches to support the players. Sarri confirmed Mario Gila would undergo medical tests for a knee issue.
