Sarri said to RAI," He is in the same shape as the others, Like Paul Dybala and Douglass Costa, He is lacking sharpness to do what works best for him. I didn't say much to the players after a game. I was angry and disappointed just like them, so at these moments it's best to stay silent. There is a disappointment for the boys, for the club, for the fans, but this is a particular moment, both for the physical condition and for some important absence. We made different choices than usual, pressing less high to have a better grip at a distance and played a game with a good level. Right now, however, we lack brilliance and without that brilliance, it becomes more difficult to beat man, which our players are usually used to doing easily and finding other solutions."
