Maxime Juca-Parentwho discovered the Lazio player Dele-Bashiro and helped bring him to Italy, spoke to the microphones of Gianlucadimarzio.com about him: “He’s a quiet person, a bit reserved at first and he’s always very smiling. I discovered Fizzy at Sheffield Wednesday and then I followed him to Turkey. I made contact with the boy and his agent one year ago and I started working to bring him to Italy. I wanted to make him known in Italian football. This is how our journey began in the first days of September 2023. In the following months I thought that the perfect place for him would be Lazio. it was almost five months of work with the club before arriving at his transfer. So, if Dele-Bashiru is in Rome today, it is all thanks to this collaboration made with the boy’s agent.”
We then talk about his arrival in the Biancoceleste: “Lazio is suited to his growth path. By arriving at Lazio at this age and with his qualities, I think the team will allow him to acquire a lot of maturity and improve on a tactical level. The club gives him allows us to have a great margin of progress and he is giving Lazio the right thanks by playing as he did yesterday.”
Regarding his characteristics: “He is more of a box to box midfielder. He takes Yaya Touré as an example. He is that player who can also play as a striker, as they are making him play at Lazio at the start of the championship. Dele, then, as we know adapt to every role in the midfield and also to the team’s playing philosophy.”
Finally we talk about his qualities: “Speed and power are certainly his main qualities. Then he has impressive potential on a physical level. On a technical level he knows how to use both feet, has a nice touch on the ball and a powerful shot”
