Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso told the Lazio Style Channel that the match against Juventus was "a trap match" similar to the one won against Monza. In his speech he underlined that, after the great victories, the team suffered a setback, but that today it took a further step forward.

Gattuso recalled the initial difficulty: in the first fifteen minutes the team seemed slowed down, with Suto and Oliver struggling to find rhythm on the Olimpico pitch, which he described as "embarrassing". This slowness penalized Lazio, making the ball flow slowly and making the team too predictable. Despite this, the attack showed improvements in the second half, which Gattuso described as "of the highest level". He also highlighted the importance of managing restarts vehemently, stating that he was satisfied with the result.

The coach expressed frustration at the daring goal conceded, underlining that the team should have finished with a clean sheet. He also praised the new arrivals, who are contributing positively, and expressed hope of recovering all the players, especially Albert, who is missing. Gattuso also complimented the players who did not protest the yellow cards, describing their calm as a strong point.

Finally, Gattuso reiterated that Lazio must know where to take risks and that the game is worth the risk. He asked to continue developing the team in that direction, so that it becomes more dangerous. The coach concluded that, if the team manages to maintain this form, it will be able to face the next Serie A challenges with confidence.
