Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano had no complaints after Monday night’s 4-0 thrashing by Lazio.
Matias Vecino, Mattia Zaccagni, Luis Alberto and Ciro Immobile struck for Lazio.
Italiano said: “We started well again today. I only didn’t like the last ten minutes, but for the rest I think the team brought to the pitch what they had left us last game. We created a lot, in the first ten minutes we could have scored three goals.
“Lazio showed that they were stronger than us. Unfortunately we paid for our lack of concreteness, we did what we had to do but the result is a 0-4 which is a lie.
“We lack incisiveness, concreteness and the hit that allows us to address the match as we did in Scotland. Lazio are Fiorentina’s black beast, we have changed a few situations compared to last year.
“I thought I had found the solution, but we are talking about a 0-4. Congratulations to our opponents who suffered our game for long stretches but came home with four goals scored.”
Italiano also said: “Today was an important crossroads for us, we aimed to give consistency after the Conference League win. When you shoot 25 times on goal and create a lot, the coach can’t overturn everything, we can’t score goals and we lose games.
“Unfortunately we pay for what is a huge evil in a football team, not being able to score goals. We take the boos and the disappointment of our fans, last year we created a huge enthusiasm, but now going out amidst the booing leaves me with a huge bitterness and is a defeat for all of us.”
