Cesc FabregasComo coach, spoke like this in the press conference after the 5-1 defeat against Lazio: “They are a great team, congratulations to Lazio. It wasn’t a 5-1 match, but they are stronger than us without doubt. I go home disappointed by the lack of aggression of my boys. To win we have to do more, especially at home. We need more attention and raise the level: we have to be humble and work harder , grit and heart. We have to raise the level.”
“Lazio is one of the strongest teams we have met so far. The level of quality was evident, but better in the second half. We found the goal, then their third goal hurt us. Yet we had opportunities to score another goal. Up until the third straight away we were in the game: but we have to score, be bad in front of the net.”
