Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi: Difficult to accept this Juventus defeat

Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi insists defeat to Juventus was undeserved.

Joaquin Correa had given them the lead after 14 minutes, but Adrien Rabiot's drive drew Juve level, then Alvaro Morata bagged a brace in three minutes.

“It's difficult to comment on a 3-1 result after that game, but evidently what we do isn't enough and we have to do more," Inzaghi told DAZN.

“This defeat hurts, as we were 1-0 up, doing very well, hit the bar when it was 1-1, then conceded a counter-attack in the Juventus Stadium from our own move.

“We deserved far more, I think we controlled much of the game, but we need to do more. We mustn't give up, we have to keep believing in what we do and start to get players back, because there's a long way to go."

With these recent results, Lazio are falling behind in the race for a top four finish.

“Clearly, we are running behind schedule, but we had sprinted to make up lost ground, then missed some important players. We have to keep going and not lose our confidence."

Lazio in theory should've had more stamina than Juve, seeing as their Tuesday night game with Torino was postponed, but they seemed to run out of steam first.
