Lazio director Igli Tare insists there is “no conflict” after Antonio Candreva was dropped against Galatasaray.

“Obviously one of the objectives for this season is to go forward in Europe. Tonight we have a slight advantage thanks to the 1-1 result in Istanbul and I think repeating that approach would be positive for us,” Tare told Sky Sport Italia.
There was an unusual pick in the trident attack with Senad Lulic – a left wing-back – in a more advanced role.
“Felipe Anderson is a quality player, but tonight the Coach put Lulic rather than Candreva as a tactical choice.
“We have an important squad with many talented players and then the Coach makes his decisions. There is no conflict.
“These players, being important, have to give a strong response on the field. Unfortunately this season some of them did not give what we expected.”
