We are a team that cannot manage the result, we are not capable. If the first half had finished 4-0 we wouldn't have stolen anything. I didn't like anything in the second half, we were there just getting by waiting for the match to end. And that's not good. If we want to continue to surprise we must not be afraid. It's not easy if no one pushes you, but we know that. We shouldn't look at the standings otherwise our heads will spin, we shouldn't think about it and we'll see where we get to at the end of the championship.

Thus Gennaro Gattuso, coach of Lazio, after the victory against Monza on the prospects of his team, first in the standings with Inter. "Monza has always put everyone in difficulty, it's a young team, with interesting players. I was worried about this match, it went well for us, Monza would have deserved a draw in the second half, Juric is a coach who has always put me in difficulty", adds Gattuso.

Finally, a thought on his own experience as a coach: "It seems that I have failed everywhere I have gone, but only one wins. We live in a country where little is analysed, perhaps I pay for my personality as a player, people think that I have remained the same. All the experiences I have had have left me with a lot, it seems that I have done everything wrong but I don't understand. The episodes condemn me because I lose the Champions League by one point with Milan and Napoli, with the national team whatever happens. But what I have done is not all negative", he concludes.
