Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri has protected Ciro Immobile, claiming that the striker has become a โscapegoatโ for Italyโs failures.
Immobile had started for Italy against North Macedonia, as they lost in Palermo and failed to qualify for the World Cup once again. Immobile came under criticism for his performance and it wasnโt the first time that he has been under fire.
During Lazioโs recent press conference, Sarri talked about Immobile and said: โI spoke to him immediately, telling him what I think.
โHe is becoming the scapegoat of a situation. He shouldnโt be too angry. He knows very well what is behind him. But in this environment, I immediately see him as very participatory and reactive. I am not worriedโ.
The 32-year-old Immobile has scored 21 Serie A goals this season, while picking up three assists in the campaign. He scored four times in the UEFA Europa League as well.
