Lazio is going through a zone of turbulence, and it is not after yesterday’s match that they will emerge from it. Facing AC Milan this Friday as part of the 27th day of Serie A, the Biancocelesti were beaten for the third time (0-1) in their last four meetings. But what also caught the attention in Italy was the mental fragility displayed by Maurizio Sarri’s players.
In addition to Luca Pellegrini, excluded shortly before the hour mark, the Montenegrin Adam Marusic, then the French Matteo Guendouzi, also lost their nerve, forcing Lazio to finish the match… at 8. The former Marseillais was sent off for a sign of annoyance, after having pushed Christian Pulisic in stoppage time. Nothing very comforting three days before traveling to Germany to challenge Bayern Munich, certainly ill, but who will be keen to redeem themselves after their defeat during the 1/8 final first leg of the Champions League three weeks ago (1-0).
