Maurizio Sarri, the Lazio manager, explained that his side is in a rebuilding process following their win over Empoli.
“I give a very high rating to this first game. These are difficult times for everyone. Many teams have changed coaches and ways of playing, I think many will have problems," Sarri said.
"At these temperatures, it is difficult to play, it is so hot. We are now like the English and German leagues, we play with the same calendars and I don't understand why.
"Ours is a team under construction and we faced a difficult team that put us in difficulty, precisely because it is a newly promoted and played on its field."
