Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri had no complaints after their 1-1 draw at Udinese.
Gerard Deulofeu opened the scoring within five minutes for Udinese before Felipe Anderson found an equaliser for Lazio.
"It was a good game, considering we were missing important players, lost Pedro in the first half too and only played 72 hours ago," Sarri told DAZN.
“We went behind straight away and up until the 75th minute I think we deserved to win it. We struggled a little in the final 15 minutes, which was only natural in the circumstances.
“If we had a little more time at our disposal to work in training on the details, we wouldn't concede goals like that. We have to work on these small things, as now we play out from the back, we know when to slow down and speed up. I say my team do what we needed to do.
“If we didn't have these European commitments, we would already be challenging for a top four place. In the games not played straight after a Europa League match, our points average is that of a side in the Champions League places.
“So far, we'd shown this complete inability to play three days after the Europa League, so today's performance is a sign of progress."
