Simone Inzaghi “can’t ask for any more” from Lazio after they reached the Europa League quarter-finals. “We’ve gone beyond expectations.”
The Biancocelesti had the odds against them after a 2-2 first leg result at the Olimpico, but emerged 2-0 winners away to Dynamo Kiev thanks to Lucas Leiva and Stefan de Vrij.
It could’ve easily been three or four more, as Ciro Immobile was wasteful, Patric fired over an open goal and the Dynamo goalkeeper should’ve been sent off for handling outside the box.
“I have to compliment the lads, as they put in a great performance and deserved our place in the quarter-finals, which wasn’t easy,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.
“The lads were wonderful and we fully deserved our win. We prepared this game well, were always solid, sharp and never lost our shape.
“I can’t ask for any more from this squad, which won the Italian Super Cup, at this moment would qualify for the Champions League and failed to reach the Coppa Italia Final only after a sudden death penalty shoot-out. I tip my hat to this team.
“We are now in the Europa League quarter-finals, we’ll see who we get in the draw tomorrow. Our objective was to go forward in this competition and we have gone beyond expectations. We believe in what we’re doing.
“With this mentality we can go far, as even the forwards were pressing every chance they had.”
