Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella says the players and coach Maurizio Sarri are together.

Sarri was furious after their defeat to Atalanta.

But at a schools event, Rovella stated on how they can improve: "With hard work, with training, we have already done it since Monday. We will start again like this, we spoke with the coach and we will try to show more desire and more determination.

"Before these results there had been positive things, now let's think about Cagliari and then to Bayern.

"The closer you get to the end, the more important the games become. It will be a decisive month. We need to approach it with the right mentality and think game by game.

"The coach has always been clear and we have always followed him. We must be more determined and do what he asks of us.

"I have to improve many things, but I'm in a moment where I feel good and where I'm growing. I'm working on it this week with him, I hope to do better and better.

"We have always been united and always will be, the rumours going around are unfounded. We are a united group, we are rowing on the same side and we can't wait to get results again."
