Lazio, here is the new attack: Dia and Castellanos on target for two games in a row

Is there life after Immobile? The big question that fans of the Lazio after the farewell of the best scorer in the history of the Biancocelesti, it seems to have already found the answer. The Dia-Castellanos duo works and the answer also came yesterday in the match against Verona. A heavy success that came thanks to the goals of the two forwards chosen by Baroni, who also explained in the pre-match conference how he wants to give continuity to this choice. “I’ve always told you that I start from the goal. This team must score goals and must find offensive production, I prefer to always have an extra offensive player on the pitch”. It will still be necessary to find balance, as often underlined by Baroni, the sixth goal conceded in four games (five in the first ten minutes of the half) must make us reflect, but the attack issue seems resolved, at least for now.

Almost two years later

The goals of two Biancocelesti forwards in two consecutive Serie A games are almost unique in Lazio’s recent history. Going back to the Sarri era, the last time two forwards (albeit wingers) scored in two consecutive games was in January 2023, with Zaccagni and Felipe Anderson scoring against Empoli and Sassuolo. The big difference is being made Castellanoswho with the three goals scored in these first four matchdays is just one goal away from equaling the four goals scored last year. His conditions will be evaluated in the next few hours given the fatigue he suffered in the second half that forced him to be substituted. On the other hand, Boulaye Dia is also doing very well physically, who despite a complicated summer in Salerno has arrived in Rome and is immediately becoming a great protagonist, the 90 minutes yesterday demonstrate his excellent condition and desire to take over Lazio.
