Club Brugge boss Clement blames Lazio draw on Dennis and Diatta’s inexperience

Philippe Clement has blamed Club Brugge’s 1-1 draw against Lazio in Wednesday’s Champions League game on the inexperience of his side, which has young players like Emmanuel Dennis, Krepin Diatta and Charles De Ketelaere.

The Belgian champions started the top-European competition on an impressive note, securing victory over Zenit Saint Petersburg.

The Blue and Black then managed to clinch a point at Jan Breydel Stadium with Hans Vanaken’s strike cancelling out Joaquin Correa’s opener in the encounter.

Nigeria international Dennis, 22, featured for 88 minutes before he was replaced while Senegal midfielder Diatta, 21, was on parade for the entirety of the game.
