Pirlo demands Lazio win
Friday 30 January, 2009

Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo has stressed that this weekend's trip to Lazio is a must-win encounter.

The Rossoneri led Genoa on Wednesday evening, but they were hit by a late Diego Milito equaliser.

After Inter's win at Catania, Milan are now eight points behind the leaders and know that anything less than a win at Lazio could kill off their Scudetto chances.

“Lazio are having a tough time at present,” Pirlo told the Milan Channel.

“We must take advantage of that and try and build on our positive recent performances.

“We are going to win against Lazio because that is what we need to do.

“If we draw, like we did the other night, then we will lose more points and we could drop further down the standings.

“Even though it's a long season and there is still time, we must make our move now.”
