Sarri Decries International Break: “It’s a Calvary”

Maurizio Sarri addressed the media ahead of Lazio’s match against Parma. He spoke on DAZN and outlined the club’s current problems.

The coach criticized the international break and used strong words. Sarri decries the international break, saying it is “a calvary”.

Effect of the international pause

Sarri stressed the damage caused by the pause in league action. He said fifteen days without domestic matches disrupted the team’s momentum.

Ten players went away on international duty. Training was therefore limited and focused on a small group of players.

Injury emergency at Lazio

The squad faces a significant injury list. Sarri estimated six or seven players were sidelined.

He called the situation an obvious handicap for the run-in. The coach noted the team must rebuild the positive form they had before the break.

Atmosphere and stadium concerns

Sarri highlighted another problem: attendance. Playing in a half-empty Stadio Olimpico, he said, felt sad.

He described injuries and low crowd numbers as two major issues to manage. Sarri added that they must earn their results again despite these challenges.
