Under-pressure Lazio Coach Stefano Pioli says they are ‘guilty of naivety’ and that ‘winning is the only medicine we need’.

The Biancocelesti are in crisis after picking up two draws and five defeats in their last seven Serie A matches.

They face Udinese in the Coppa Italia last 16 tomorrow evening, with rumours circulating that a defeat could mark the end for Pioli.

The Aquile’s latest setback was a 1-1 draw with Sampdoria on Monday night, when the visitors equalised with the last kick of the game.

“We’ll get out of this moment by working, studying, analysing and evaluating the situations,” Pioli said at today’s Press conference.

“I know well how things work, there are positive things inside our results and performances.

“We are working on the details, we played a dirty, ugly and bad game against Samp but we’re guilty of naivety which penalises us too much.

“I’m not here to list all the numbers that I'm studying, but what I perceive is that we want to get out of this moment: we need to win games.

"We need to win tomorrow, that's obvious, I believe it is the only medicine we need to see the positive results of the work.

“We are working well, we believe we can get out of this moment. We care about this competition a lot.

"I didn’t read the statements of Petkovic and I don’t know the situation that he experienced, but only what is happening to me.

"There is nothing new (about having an argument with directors after the match), I know how it works in football and when you don’t get results everyone is up for discussion, but I no longer intend to respond to these kind of questions, I’ll only talk about the match.”
