Lazio star Matias Vecino admitted that as soon as Juventus scored against them last night, the task became more complicated for his team in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
After going through the same games in the league at the weekend, Juventus were eager to avenge that defeat.
Lazio put in a great performance in the first half, with Juventus struggling to bring them down, barring a penalty that they missed via VAR.
Similarly, Juventus faced demanding situations in the first half of the game, but the momentum shifted in the second half after the Bianconeri opened the scoring, visibly worrying Lazio.
Vecino said, quoted by Tuttojuve:
“I think we have everything we need to do well, we’ve been with him for a few days and the other day the team played an intelligent game and also in the first half. After the pass we split up because when Juve go down and start again, they are a very strong team and it is difficult to find spaces, we are facing a strong team, it must be said. For us, it’s general to grow over time.
Juve FC says
We had to make life difficult for Lazio to win this game and I hope this will give us the style to win our next games.
But we want to start games better and score some goals early.
