Lazio Assistant Coach Farris: “We Have to Keep Winning Now for the UCL Race”

Lazio assistant coach Massimiliano Farris was proud of the Biancocelesti squad after a tough 5-3 win over Benevento yesterday.

Speaking to gathered reporters in a press conference (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) after the match, Farris first touched on the difficult of all Serie A matches.

In Serie A there are no easy games, Benevento are a worthy opponent. After a perfect half, with the 4-1 goal we could have closed it out, but the missed penalty changed the game a bit. We take the points, the boys did well to suffer and bring the victory home. It wasn’t easy to make it five wins in a row. Inzaghi congratulated us, he suffered from home, we know how difficult it is to suffer and manage everything from a distance. We’ll analyse all the mistakes and things that didn’t work today.

He commented on the tense Champions League race this season.

We have to keep winning, keep fighting like this until the end. From tonight we’ll only think about Napoli.

Finally, Farris spoke about Luis Alberto’s negative reaction to being brought off.

The five changes introduced by Covid have upset the hierarchy for everyone, and players must have respect for their team-mates who come in their place. The episode of Luis Alberto’s shirt being thrown away is in the past and there are no problems for him.
