Despite winning the Super Cup, Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi says they need to keep buying.

Lazio defeated Juventus without the injured Felipe Anderson, while Keita Balde Diao was left out amid transfer speculation linking him to Juventus.

Inzaghi said, “Too much has already been said about Keita. He didn't look calm or focused enough to play tonight, while Felipe Anderson was injured, so I made do with the players at my disposal.

“We beat Juventus, who compared to us are challenging for other targets, but we proved that with abnegation and hard work, we can level the playing field. It's only right that these lads now enjoy the trophy with their fans.

“I told the lads today that we had to play as a team, otherwise we would never beat Juventus. I am really proud and honoured to work with them."

The squad nonetheless looks very thin indeed and Lazio surely require reinforcements, especially with the Europa League commitments.

“The club works 24 hours a day. We have a lot of ideas, maybe not the resources of some other clubs, but we've got ideas and will do what's best for Lazio. Don't forget there were murmurs when Luis Alberto was signed and he showed tonight what kind of player he is."
