It all happened in the first 20 minutes at the Olimpico. Lazio beat Verona 2-1 in the Monday night postponed match of the fourth day of Serie A. Dia’s opening goal was immediately answered by Tengstedt, but the decisive goal of the Biancocelesti’s lead was scored by Castellanos.
Baroni’s words
This is Marco Baroni’s comment: “We work on enthusiasm. This team needs to be launched. Players who made history have left, we need to work on the collective, the team is doing it. I also prefer to always put in one more quality player, who can score goals, but then we need to work as a team. The goal is my responsibility because we were open and on that ball, vertically, we were open but between the first and second half we also adjusted a little bit regarding the attacking midfielders, which wasn’t easy”.
Zanetti’s analysis
“We certainly aren’t discovering Lazio today – said Paolo Zanetti – they are a strong team and it’s normal that when you face teams with different objectives there is different quality. We had the merit of always staying in the game, we had the character to get back into it and play as we had prepared. Lazio is very dynamic and you put yourself in difficulty in one-on-one, they made us suffer more than usual”.
