Sarri Insist He Is Impressed With Lazio Performance In The 2-0 Defeat To Juventus, But Admits Immobile Is Irreplaceable

“We were in the game until the final 10 minutes, then opened up spaces in our attempt to get it back on level terms,” Sarri told DAZN.

“We played well, at times very well, but unfortunately were lacking in the final third. Unfortunately, Danilo went off early and Juventus changed system, making it a 4-5-1 with everyone behind the ball, so once they took the lead, we ran into a brick wall.

“It’s disappointing we were unable to create more scoring opportunities, considering the number of potential chances that we managed to build.”

“It’s not easy to find an alternative to someone who scores 35-40 goals per game. You can’t find someone who can guarantee Ciro’s tally,” confessed Sarri.

“We usually go past men in one-on-one situations better on the wings, but it’s not something you can guarantee in every game. We played as a team, I just didn’t like the final 15 minutes, because we still had time and shouldn’t have been stretched out.”
