Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri says there’ll be no underestimating Champions League opponents Feyenoord tonight.
Despite having their measure last year, Sarri says the Dutch champions will be far stronger this time.
“This year they are stronger, so no,” Sarri said. “Let’s build on the match from two weeks ago. They play with real intensity and have great energy. We have to move the ball at a good speed, we hope that the condition of the pitch will allow us to do that.
“In Rotterdam they won and they made us look like fools. Tomorrow we need to play with humility and confidence, because we are neither superior nor inferior to anyone.
“We are still halfway through the group, it’s a very important match in the dynamic of the group. I don’t like hearing people say that it has to be won at all costs. We will try to play the match tomorrow as normal.”
Sarri also insisted: “At this moment in time, everyone only seems to comment on the result. So why watch the match if you only care about the result? In Bologna we played a great game for 75 minutes, but supposedly we didn’t put in enough work in training.
“Our attackers had a total of 16 goals at this point in the season last year, this year they have five or six and that is costing us. I don’t understand why this is happening, we play the same way.
“Sometimes we fail to create dangerous attacks, even though we create the situations for it.”
