Prior to tomorrow’s match against Atalanta, Maurizio Sarri emphasized the significance of Ciro Immobile’s absence and sought to explain Lazio’s strong defensive play.
The Biancocelesti will be without their top striker for the next month of games due to a hamstring injury sustained by the 32-year-old that will keep him out until the new year. A wide player like Felipe Anderson or Pedro will now need to be adapted to play forward in the 4-3-3 formation, which is a terrible loss for Sarri and Lazio.
Sarri began his remarks in a press conference by highlighting Lazio’s improved defense this year. After 10 games, they have only allowed five goals, a significant decrease from the 17 they allowed in the same period last year.

“You always have to wait; in the long run, these statistics make sense; in ten games, they can depend on a thousand other variables.
“We might continue in this manner even if we are aware that the number may not be ideal for us. We’ll see with a lot more games as evidence.
He made a brief mention of the significance of tomorrow’s matchup with Atalanta.
“It could have an impact on how the season develops, but I think it’s too early to make a decision eight months out. On a mental level, it may give us something and take it away, ignoring the material part.
The star striker Immobile’s absence was brought up by the Lazio coach.
