PERFORMANCE – “Heavy defeat, we have to work a lot. We know that against stronger teams than us it is difficult. We lacked quality. We put Fadera in one-on-one situations twice but to no avail. We made mistakes while they scored, it’s quality. In the second half we improved, we also had opportunities to score. I’m disappointed in the lack of nastiness in the one-on-one duels. I’m a little disappointed by the lack of malice in the duels: with all due respect Castellanos cannot win against Dossena, who has not won an aerial battle with him. And on the third goal the ball must go to the goalkeeper, Audero should have been more decisive. We are Como, they are Lazio, it is obvious that if you don’t do something more you lose. We didn’t do well in the first half, Lazio are a great team. Castellanos always won the clashes with Dossena and Audero also made a mistake on the occasion of Patric’s goal. When we attacked we were good, but we lacked something in front of goal with the many untapped opportunities. The late goals came because we were unbalanced in attack in search of a comeback. We must continue to grow and learn from matches with great teams like Lazio.”
ABSENCES – “We missed several players, like Perrone and Sergi Roberto. But I can’t send the message that without the two of them we can’t play. I have to give confidence to the team.”
ERRORS – “I’m disappointed because we could have done better on many occasions and won more duels in the middle of the pitch. From the goalkeeper to the forwards we need to improve because we could have recovered the result being ten against ten”.
DISAPPOINTMENT – “We can talk about things done better, but we didn’t start well. Congratulations to them, a great team. I don’t think it was a 5-1 match. I’m disappointed by the lack of aggression. We know Lazio are stronger than us , to win we have to do more than the others. We have to raise the level, we are Como and we have to be humble. We have to lose aggressively, I want to lose like this. You have to see the heart.”
LAZIO – “Lazio is the strongest we have played against so far. The level was evident, but in the second half we created, we pressed, I saw them in difficulty at some moments. The fourth and fifth goals are not important for me, they are for you to talk about it tomorrow. Whoever is in front of the goal must have the courage and strength to score goals.”
PEDRO – “He started late, he is a great player. It’s no surprise to you, but not to me. He’s very good, he likes football and does well to play.”
