Sarri 'proud of attitude' as Lazio defeat Juventus

Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri was delighted after victory over Juventus.

Lazio won 2-1 via goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Mattia Zaccagni.

“I am proud of the attitude of these players. The consistency we achieved months ago in training is slowly starting to bleed through to the match situations," Sarri told DAZN.

“The team plays with a different spark, aggression and confidence, it is always in the game and that pleases me.

“That quality is in their DNA, so they will always have that, but if they are prepared to track back and defend in this way, we become a different team.

“The risk against Juventus is playing with a slow tempo, as they have this way of lulling you into a false sense of security. We talked about it all week to be ready, and our tempo in the first 60 minutes especially forced them to scramble."
