A last-gasp goal by Saponara nullified everything, from a five-day retreat to tonight's great presentation. Simone Inzaghi's Lazio team awoke against a great Sampdoria, only to fall to their fourth consecutive tie after the blucerchiato trequartista's goal. Inzaghi spoke to Sky Sport after the match.
"The players gave it their all, we hit the post many times and created chances. I'm sorry for our players and our fans. Now we speak on a dark moment due to 4 straight ties, which was one time said in the case of four losses. We changed our mentality, I'm happy for this. In the first half we were too generous, we distracted ourselves in one and a half minutes for Saponara's goal, which kept us from winning."
"I can only compliment Correa Cataldi and Luis Alberto, because they interpreted the game well. We deserved the victory, but football is like this and we have to deal with that."
"After being together for five days, not due to punishment but to stay together as a group, being unable to find the 3 points hurts. Football, though, doesn't gift you anything. We know this."
"I saw a great Milinkovic-Savic. He needs a spark to explode, he's young and feels the pressure of the moment. For Luis Alberto it's the same discussion, today he played a great match like all of the others."
