Lazio goal-keeper Ivan Provedel did not sound too satisfied with his team’s recent performances including the defeats with Rotterdam and Bologna.

While attending today’s pre-match Champions League presser, Provedel commented on his side’s mentality as they approach the highly-anticipated Derby della Capitale with Roma.

“We’re angry as hell, to be honest with you,” Provedel told the media. “We were coming off a positive stretch in the league, but the bad performance in Rotterdam made us very angry, through our own fault.”

“We are working well but we are not collecting as much as we should. Even those who play less are giving it their all. Tomorrow we have to turn it around, then we prepare as best we can for the derby. Which must be taken head on without any ifs or buts.”
