Parolo: ‘Don’t blame Pioli’

Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo says the players are to blame for recent results, not Coach Stefano Pioli.

The Biancocelesti haven’t won a Serie A game since beating Torino in October, and threw away three points tonight by allowing Sampdoria a last-minute equaliser.

“The draw makes us angry, because in these difficult situations a win can give you morale and confidence and make you work better,” Parolo admitted, speaking to Mediaset after the match.

“The draw makes us angry, because in these difficult situations a win can give you morale and confidence and make you work better,” Parolo admitted, speaking to Mediaset after the match.

“I’m sorry, because a hard-fought victory in a game like today’s would have been invaluable. Up until the 94th minute they never put us under pressure.

“Then there was an unfortunate situation which has gone their way for their goal. At the moment we can’t afford to give anything away, because one way or another we’ll concede a goal.

“I don’t think the Coach has much to do with it, when we go onto the pitch we have to give a good impression.

“Today, one way or another, we were on course for the result. What can the Coach do about the situation at the end?



“It’s these details and little things which are penalising us. We just have to work, that’s the only way to get out of the situation we’re in right now.”
