Simone Inzaghi felt Lazio ultimately deserved the victory after fighting back to beat Sampdoria 2-1. “We should’ve been ahead earlier.”
Duvan Zapata had put the Blucerchiati ahead, but the 100 per cent home record was ruined by Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Felipe Caicedo.
“I can’t complain about the attitude of the lads, as we deserved to be ahead in the first half and then made a mistake during our best period of the game to go behind,” the Coach told Mediaset Premium.
“The players remained concentrated and were able to turn it around in a very difficult arena. We’ve created a good cushion from the chasing pack, but there’s a long way to go and we want to qualify for Europe again. We know it’s tough, but despite everything that has happened, the group stays together, works hard and enjoys its football.”
This is Lazio’s best ever start to a season with 32 points after 14 rounds – it would be 15, but they have a game in hand to play against Udinese.
Inzaghi had raged against VAR technology last week after a stoppage-time Fiorentina penalty, but this time the officials in the booth passed over a possible Bereszynski handball.
“VAR seems to be going wrong for us at the moment, as that would’ve been an important penalty. I still can’t get over the incidents last week.
“I am just disappointed that every time now we have to hesitate before celebrating. I know in my time, you just had to glance at the linesman’s flag, but everyone has to get used to it now.”
Inzaghi set a record by using the same XI for the seventh Serie A round in a row.
“In recent matches I tried to create some consistency, but the players off the bench changed the game again today and they are so important to breathe new life into the team during difficult moments.”
