Coach Stefano Pioli says Lazio “must always stay in Europe” ahead of the visit of Saint-Etienne.

The Biancocelesti conceded a last-gasp equaliser in their opening match in the Europa League group to Dnipro, meaning that the pressure is now on for tomorrow night.

“We have to find continuity and consistency,” Pioli told reporters in his pre-match Press conference.

“We did well in the last two games, in terms of the way we played, but we still have to grow and put together a run of results.

Coach Stefano Pioli says Lazio “must always stay in Europe” ahead of the visit of Saint-Etienne.

The Biancocelesti conceded a last-gasp equaliser in their opening match in the Europa League group to Dnipro, meaning that the pressure is now on for tomorrow night.

“We have to find continuity and consistency,” Pioli told reporters in his pre-match Press conference.

“We did well in the last two games, in terms of the way we played, but we still have to grow and put together a run of results.

“Lazio must always stay in Europe, that’s our goal. It’s the sixth game in 18 days, today’s training session will be important, I have to evaluate some players.

“Tomorrow we’ll have a competitive team, we want to win and put ourselves in a good position in the group.”

Pioli also gave his analysis of tomorrow’s opponents, and is not expecting an easy ride.

“You [the media] are right to call them a difficult opponent, they’re to be respected. They play a simple game, organised and quick. They’ve made a good start, despite losing the last game.

“We have to approach the game with the right mentality. The result will be very important in terms of the group, and we want to win.

“We have to respect the opponents and play like Lazio. If we do that we have a good chance of getting the win.”
