Pioli: Pressure is of Lazio’s own making

Following their 1-1 draw to Chievo Verona, Lazio boss Stefano Pioli insisted his side are not feeling the pressure from other results around the league.

The Biancocelesti had to settle for a point against Chievo on Sunday, despite having led for most of the match, with Miroslav Klose putting the hosts in front before Alberto Paloschi restored parity in the second half.

“It’s clear this wasn’t the result we wanted, we have to close games earlier,” Pioli told Premium Calcio.

“We have suffered with injury set-backs but have proved we are competitive despite the absentees.

“Any pressure we’re feeling is what we put on ourselves.

“We are making important steps, but today we didn’t get anything for our hard work.

“We will fight until the very end; we want to return to Europe.”

Lazio remain in second place but only one point ahead of city rivals Roma.
