Lazio coach Gattuso told DAZN that losing to Mantova in the Coppa Italia would not change the team's plans, and the goal is to create a clear playing style.

Gattuso said: "Nothing has changed after losing to Mantova; this is a process. Someone asked me how far this Lazio can go, but I always say that the focus is not on how far we can go, but on creating a positive atmosphere at Formello and building the right mindset with clear objectives."

"It's not about how far we go, but about the mindset. The match against Mantova was part of this process, and of course, losing hurts, especially being eliminated in the first round. We still have strengths and weaknesses, and perhaps always will, but we need to build a mindset that comes not only from working on the pitch but also from believing in what we are doing. We made many changes; last year we had a mentor like Sarri, who would do specific things."

"We tried to overturn many things in a very short time, not because those things were wrong, but because my philosophy is more aggressive and physically demanding football. That Coppa Italia match was costly for us, but we are on the right track. We know this season will be difficult for us, but the goal is definitely to establish a clear style for the team."
