I think the result is a bit unfair because we played some good football tonight and we didn't deserve to lose.
We had most of the possession throughout the game, our passing game was good, as was the players' positioning.
That penalty was a hard blow for our morale but nevertheless I congratulated the lads after the game because they played very well tonight.
Our performance tonight was solid and mature, we showed grit and determination and I had the impression that we had the game constantly under control.
Up until the soft penalty that we conceded Lazio didn't really have a chance to score, we pressed them high up the pitch and all they could do was shoot from outside the box.
Although they had a good game they didn't really pose a threat to our goalkeeper throughout the entire match.
I wouldn't be lying if I said that the players and myself are disappointed with the result because we know we could have scored a few more goals.
I know that Lazio grew more confident and dangerous in the last stages of the game but that's normal and I think that despite this we were still in control of the game.
The only real chance Lazio had, except for the penalty, was a free-kick from 30 metres out.
Hitting the post means that you came close to scoring but you didn't, so I don't think about how close I am to winning my first Scudetto, I think about what I still need to do in order to win it, 
Thursday we'll play against Udinese and that's all I'm thinking about right now.
We still need 4 points to secure the title and it's going to be everything but easy, especially in a moment like this.
Every team is fighting for their objectives, everyone is prepared to give everything they have left to reach their goals so we need to stay focused and keep up the good work.
At the moment every single game is as difficult as it gets because they are all very close together.
It's not rare to see remarkable comebacks, every game can change in a matter of minutes.
This is not something that happens only in Serie A, I've been watching a lot of Serie B games of late and it often happens that a team that is winning 2-0 ends up losing 4-2.
This shows that you can never let your guard down and mental strength makes all the difference.
When you're 2-0 up it's normal to slow down a bit, you need to slow down the pace and control the ball.
What you mustn't do is relax just because you are in the lead and let your opponent play without pressing them.
That's why I replaced Costa and Dybala with two defenders, Rugani and Danilo, we needed to get control of the pitch and the ball.
And given that they played only 55 minutes instead of the whole game I'll be able to field them on Tursday against Udinese.
I wanted to keep Dybala on the bench because yesterday he had some slight problems with his back.
We didn't want to risk him getting seriously injured because we still have a lot of games to play.
Then Higuain also had some problems with his back during the pre-match warm-up so we decided to take him off instead.
Dybala was in better shape than Higuain, hence the last minute change in the starting eleven.
So my decision was purely based on the physical fitness of the two players, I chose the safest option.
