Quotes
“In every negative experience, there is a lesson to be learned. If we look at the individual players, we are clearly inferior to Inter," Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri said after his side lost to Inter Milan in the Italian Supercoppa on 19 January.
"Although perhaps not to the degree we saw today. If we want to compete with these opponents, then we have to do more than them with tactical intelligence, motivation and determination – which we absolutely did not do tonight.
"That is a big lesson and we have to take it forward.”
