GATTUSO: "WE'LL NEED TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION"
Gennaro Gattuso spoke in the post-match press conference after Lazio-Milan 0-0, first leg Coppa Italia 2018/2019 Semi-final.
“It’s a bit of a daft result for us because any goal for Lazio will be worth double in the second leg. We’ll need to pay close attention. Obviously, we could’ve done better however, it’s still a good result considering that we didn’t concede against a team that has key players up front.”
On the game: “Lazio waited for us before then attacking on the break and putting us in difficulty. We were lacking on a technical level tonight, making mistakes on the few occasions that we broke free from their pressure. Lazio were better than us, although it’s also true that they didn’t create any real killer-ball chances. Defensively, I really liked how the team played, but it’s a step back technically. Simone (Inzaghi) and I know each other well, perhaps it’s just a coincidence that these matches keep finishing 0-0. We’ll see what happens in the second leg.”
About the individuals: "Kessie couldn’t run and asked to be taken off. Suso like anyone in the entire team put in a good technical performance tonight. We made a lot of mistakes, failing in our build-up play and looking for Piatek with long balls.”
