Lazio manager Vladimir Petkovic has criticised the club's supporters for failing to turn out in force for last night's Europa League opener against Legia Warsaw.
The Aquile ground out a 1-0 win over Warsaw to start their European campaign with a victory at the Olimpico, thanks to a header from Hernanes.
Petkovic has declared that his side deserved a bigger crowd for the match, which was played with just 11,769 spectators present.
He told Sky Sport Italia: "Winning a game with the mind more than the quality of our play is very important, as during a season you must learn to hang on tight under pressure to grind out a result.
"It's certainly good to keep two consecutive clean sheets. I was not worried when we made certain individual errors against Juventus, as aside from those meetings we conceded one goal in four games.
"It was a shame that there were so few people today, as the team deserves a bigger crowd for its Europa League debut."
Lazio are sure to have a bigger crowd at the Olimpico this weekend, when they take on Roma in the season's first clash between bitter rivals in the Italian capital.
