ROMA – “The team has confirmed that it has character”. Simone Inzaghi enjoys the comeback victory over Fiorentina, the number 20 in the league, which allows Lazio to remain in the wake of Juve: “We are here: a team without character would never have won such a match. It was a victory strongly desired. It was not easy: at the moment we have some numerical problems, we are dealing with several injuries and it is difficult to recover with all these close matches. I have to thank the guys who sacrificed themselves. Fiorentina is an organized team , guys knew the importance of the stakes and gave everything. “

“The expulsion? I was not rude”
The biancoceleste coach explains the episode that cost him the expulsion for protests in the 96th minute: “I’m sorry, it hadn’t happened for two and a half years. I tried to help the referee, there was a little nervousness but I was not rude: I just entered the pitch. Too bad because I wanted to be on the bench on Tuesday with Torino “.
Immobile: “It is the answer to those who criticized us after Bergamo”
Immobile enjoys the number 127 goal in Serie A, like Shevchenko, and the number 28 in the season that brings him closer to Higuain’s record 36: “We are happy to have shown once again the spirit of this team. Sometimes people don’t you understand, we have been stuck for three months … After the defeat in Bergamo we were angry, but above all disappointed because we could have gone 3-0, then we suffered the knockout blow, it is a defeat that still burns. Today our first half is was under-rhythm, but we were coming from a demanding trip and the recovery was really tough. We have to go on without looking at the standings and keep doing what we were doing since the beginning of this fantastic season. ” The center forward did not like post-Atalanta criticism and complaints. “More than a message to Juve and Inter this victory is a message for those who have turned the spotlight on us, only because we lost in Bergamo against a team that broke bones this year in Manchester City as well. We had no presumption to dominate the game, but we did it for half an hour and then it went badly. Higuain’s rcord? I don’t think about it, I did it at home during the break, now I have to think about getting the best from my team, I have to improve physically and athletically, the last 10 games are missing and we have to go into it “, he concludes.
