A red arrow with the license to hurt any opposing defense. This is it Nuno Tavaresthe best assister in Serie A with his four assists representing almost a unicum at Lazio. Not since the 2017/18 season has a left back provided at least 4 assists in the league, in that case it was Lulic and he was the fifth full-back. A left-back capable of making such a difference at Lazio had been expected for years now and he arrived at the sale price, an operation worth less than 5 million plus a 35% resale percentage in favor of Arsenal with which the Biancocelesti they have effectively armored the left-handed wing. “It’s incredible how the big teams let him slip away, he’s a team player fighting for the scudetto” says Biancoceleste sporting director Angelo Fabiani.
The valorization of Baroni
However, Tavares’ devastating impact is also supported by the work of Baronswho has worked to make the most of the Portuguese winger since Auronzo’s retirement. “Baroni complimented us. Not even he believed it because we defeated very strong competition at full-back, someone with frightening physical and running data” Lotito told Il Messaggero. With that physicality it is necessary to create spaces for Tavares and so Baroni decided to free up the left track for him, asking Zaccagni to centralize as much as possible and serve the former Arsenal red arrow as much as possible. Thus Tavares was able to serve three of his four assists (the fourth came from a free kick), a completely free left track to reach the back, a serve in the center of the penalty area and an easy goal for his teammates. From Castellanos and Dia to Gila and Guendouzi, Tavares is trying to make them all happy and Baroni is managing it as best he can. With Torino he took him off midway through the second half after resting him in the Europa League. Tomorrow against Nice he will be preserved and then return to plowing the left-handed lane on Sunday at 3pm at the Olimpico against Empoli, before the break in which he will be able to recharge his batteries even more and continue to make the difference as he has been doing for over a month .
