Rossi Praises United Lazio
Lazio managed to hold Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw at the Olimpico stadium, with the Biancocelesti going close to grab all three points against their more celebrated opponents.
Coach Delio Rossi was obviously satisfied with how Lazio played this evening against the Spanish champions, despite the huge technical difference between the two sides.
"We suffered because Real Madrid is a team of quality, but tonight we proved that we can play in the Champions League," he commented at the end of the game.
"We tried till the end, as we had important chances whereas they were more ruthless in front of goal," continued Rossi.
"The lads were good to remain united and counter attack. Maybe we paid for a bit of excitement of playing in front of so many people, whom I thank."
With regards to Tommaso Rocchi, who got injured last Sunday but still played tonight, Rossi had no doubts.
"I would make again the same choice. He gave me ample availability and he deserved to play this game."
