Lazio coach Sarri 'happy for Marcos Antonio' after scoring in victory over Spezia

Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri was happy with their 3-0 win against Spezia on Friday night.

Goals from Ciro Immobile, Felipe Anderson and Marcos Antonio secured the win for Lazio.

Sarri said, “The second goal was beautiful, but at a certain point I was worried because no one was shooting at goal.

“I'm also happy for Marcos Antonio, who is a top player, I'm having a hard time fitting him into our midfield because we have very offensive characteristics and so at times we need physicality, but if anyone comes to watch the training sessions it's a spectacle when we play tight games.

“We've been aiming to become less cocky and less superficial for a long time. The ability to stay on the ball in difficult moments has grown considerably, but in the first seven or eight minutes I was afraid that we took the game a bit too lightly."
