Coach Stefano Pioli is happy about the ‘excellent performance’ put in by Lazio in their 2-1 comeback against Verona.

The Biancocelesti went down by one goal but managed to battle their way back to take three points home.

“It was an excellent performance by my team,” he told Premium Sport at the end of the game.

“We didn’t deserve to trail, but we did well in catching up.

“Verona could only have scored on a dead-ball situation, we reacted really well.

“Now we have to insist. I saw many positive things from my team.

“The lads wanted this victory so we could leave behind our backs the recent disappointments.

“Our games against Chievo and Napoli didn't show our true level. This squad has quality.

“We can do some satisfying things and put up a fight against any opponent.

“We haven’t done anything yet, so let’s think one game at a time as we prepare for our Europa League game.

“We knew how important this game was. We had to showcase the work we had done, and prove we’d learned from our mistakes.

“We can still do some good things, we created a lot and we believed in the comeback.

“Now let’s think about Saint-Etienne and Frosinone, then we’ll catch our breaths during the break.

“The team was compact, they controlled the ball and the match.

“We’re recovering and we’re on the right track.”

Finally, Pioli made a comment on Lucas Biglia, who converted the first penalty to give Lazio their equaliser.

“He has quality and character. He helps the team roll.

“The rest of us did well too, but the team is bumped up by a level when I have elements like him on the pitch.”
