November 10th: In the 11th round of Serie A on Sunday night, Lazio lost 0-2 away to Inter Milan. In an interview after the game, the team's midfielder Cataldi expressed regret for the result of the game and that the team must make progress in controlling the ball and organizing offense. He also talked about hoping that the injured would return as soon as possible and go further in the future.

-Sarri praised the team’s mentality, is this a positive?

Cataldi: "We performed well because after conceding a goal early in the opening game, the game situation was not easy. We kept it orderly and obviously we should have done more. This is a regrettable point. I think Inter Milan is the strongest team in the league and one of the strongest teams in Europe."

-Are you satisfied with the stage of building the attack?

Cataldi: "We definitely need to improve more in terms of playing the ball out of the backcourt. We have discussed this and we need to improve. Defensively, I think the team is in order. We definitely need to improve in terms of ball control. We may be better at advancing quickly instead of short passes, but we have to improve."

-Do you also feel the pressure within the team?

Cataldi: "When you play for Lazio, there is always pressure. We have to go all out to do our best. This month can teach us some lessons, and the situation is not easy because of injuries. We hope that the injured can return as soon as possible. Then we need to go further. We don't want to spend an unknown season."

-What is your attitude towards the transfer market?

Cataldi: "This is a difficult problem. We don't know these things and we won't ask about them because it's not our job. How the situation will develop in January, I don't know."

After 11 league games so far this season, Lazio has achieved a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses and ranks 9th in the standings.
