[FRIENDLY] Lazio - Sassuolo = 1 - 1

The last friendly match scheduled for the new Lazio led by Maurizio Sarri took place this evening.  After the 1-0 victory against Twente, the team played against Alessio Dionisi's Sassuolo.  A final test towards Empoli's debut on August 21st. 

Lazio's pre-season ends with a draw.  Akpa Akpro's goal is answered by Traoré, both in the first half.  Two wasted opportunities by Immobile and two Sassuolo chances wasted on posts. 

 

At the Benito Stirpe of Frosinone, the fairest result is 1-1.  The last test, the most significant one given the restart of the Serie A, brings with it good things and others less.  

Sarri can be half happy with how much the team managed to express, too slow in the first half without the quality of Luis Alberto.  The plays of Milinkovic and Felipe Anderson are the only lights.  

In the second half, the Magician gives geometry and dribbling, the one the coach asks of him for more than an hour without being heard.  Silence the controversy between Sarri and Luis Alberto;  the Spaniard, in the friendly between Lazio and Sassuolo, becomes captain after the exit of Immobile

The hope is that in a week when the championship officially begins, there will be a different Immobile's performance.
