Sampdoria boss Mihajlovic: We couldn't handle Lazio's Felipe Anderson

Sampdoria coach Sinisa Mihajlovic admits they had no answer against Lazio ace Felipe Anderson last night.

Lazio ranout comfortable 3-0 winners.

"For the first time today we were not the real Samp," said Mihajlovic.

"We were not aggressive enough. In the first 20-30 minutes it was balanced, but we didn't make the most of counter-attacks, misplaced really easy passes, plus conceded two goals in four minutes.

"Felipe Anderson looked like Cristiano Ronaldo tonight! He was the only one who created real problems, he changed the game and was man of the match by a mile.

"How would I have dealt with him? I'd have given him a few kicks, certainly! Mind you, to do that you've got to catch him.

"Without doubt Lazio were better on the night."
