3-1 and a lot of satisfaction. Simeone Inzaghi's Lazio defeated Cagliari to arrive in fourth place in the Serie A standings. It was an important moral victory for the squad, who has had difficulty findings results in the past few weeks.
"They were great," said the biancoceleste manager after the match when asked about his players. "They interpreted the match in the best of ways, we even deserved a few more goals in the first half. Today we'll enjoy the victory, we've missed it for some time. But after this evening we'll think about Bologna." Bologna, of course, is managed by Inzaghi's brother, Pippo.
But for now he will not speak about that match. Today Lazio will relax and celebrate. The conditions of both Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic do not concern the team. What was surprising about the match was the formation, as many expected a 4-3-2-1, but the defense was in three.
"For the formation, there's always an interpretation. We played without a regista? When Cagliari had the ball, we put Parolo and Milinkovic-Savic in front of the defense. Instead, when we attacked, Milinkovic advanced until he reached Luis Alberto. We entered the pitch well, the victory came thanks to our approach, making our opponents understand the type of match that should have expected."
