“The time is on Lazio’s side. We’ve got no time to lose”, said Tuchel to reporters on Monday (4). “We can’t be patient if it’s just about keeping ball possession. We have just 90 minutes”, added the manager. 

“We can’t take time to wait for our first attack or pass to the other side instead of taking an opportunity. We need to play with a cool head but we need to play to score goals”, said Tuchel.
