MILAN – This is what Lazio’s coach Edy Reja had to say after the biancocelesti’s match with Cagliari on the weekend. Lazio are Milan’s next opponents at the Stadio Olimpico this coming Sunday."We needed this win. The defeat to Atalanta still hurts us. We did well. We should have closed out the match sooner. Sunday will be hard. Milan will be back fighting after the defeat to Parma. The team showed great character. Keita and Klose did well. When there is movement upfront it’s easier to get the ball to those players. We’re growing after our breakdown. The only negative was the defeat to Atalanta.”
