At the Stadio Olimpico, Marco Baroni accepts “full responsibility” for Lazio’s crushing 6-0 loss to Inter. “The team completely lost its shape and fell apart emotionally.”
Even though the Nerazzurri had a game in hand, the Biancocelesti had been playing brilliantly going into and leveling on 31 Serie A points with Inter.
“I obviously feel bad for the team and the supporters. “I accept full responsibility for this loss,” Baroni said to DAZN.
“We played a solid forty minutes, but it was insufficient; the team emotionally collapsed, we lost our composure, and we gave up things that a powerful team like Inter cannot have.”
“I accept full responsibility for my poor performance in handling the squad’s emotional state. We need to work and get back on track now that I’ve spoken to the team.
Protecting Lazio players, Baroni
They had also gotten off to a terrific start, but after Mario Gila was wounded and Samuel Gigot took his place, they completely collapsed.
Gigot handed away the penalty kick for 1-0, and he was also substituted off at halftime. With Alessio Romagnoli already out, Baroni moved Adam Marusic to a makeshift center-back position.
It is unacceptable for a squad like ours to just get lost. Although there were unlucky times, that is not an excuse. I acknowledge that there is weariness from playing so many games, but I accept full responsibility for the team’s disintegration. It will undoubtedly be a learning moment.
“We were overextended and failed to make enough tackles, which is unacceptable against a team like Inter.”
Prior to their complete surrender in the Capital, Lazio had won 13 games and drawn four in all competitions, making them undefeated at home since March.
Baroni’s Lazio comes in two varieties: one with an extra midfielder and another with a trequartista in the 4-2-3-1 system. This evening’s version was the latter from the start.
“The team creates favorable situations and the wingers have mobility when we have an attacking player who works between the lines.” We can’t lose our form so much because we have a lot of games this season and there is weariness,” Baroni said.
We can’t do that against a team like Inter that enjoys stealing the ball to go on the counter, especially because it’s the first time it’s happened.
When the squad wasn’t playing well, there was no 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. We can usually manage having four attacking players because we were spaced out, something we don’t usually do.
Lazio ultras continued to sing and wave their flags as they welcomed the players over to the Curva and congratulated them on their efforts this season, regardless of the outcome.
