After a battle that lasted almost one hundred minutes, Ayroldi’s final whistle came and Raffaella Carrà’s voice was heard in a jubilant Olimpico and the Biancoceleste cheering exploded. The famous song from 1980 has now become one of Lazio’s soundtracks ever since Pedro he began his adventure in biancoceleste in 2021. The enthusiasm and euphoria experienced yesterday at the Olimpico perfectly represent the last two weeks at Lazio. Four consecutive victories, twelve goals scored and as many points brought home between Serie A and the Europa League. Pedro took care of breaking the door first against Nice and then against Empoli, one might say he’s not a kid. The Spaniard has often gone to see the stars during his career, but he still has a mad desire to make an impact and make a difference. “Trust me” and you have to trust anyone who invents two goals like those scored by Pedro against Nice and Empoli, one with the left foot and the other with the right.
Baroni’s attack works
Almost all Lazio’s attackers also had an impact against Empoli. The only one who wasn’t decisive was Isaksen, even though the Dane had several situations to hurt Empoli’s defence. Perhaps this is the great secret of Baronsbeing able to create potentially dangerous situations for all his offensive players. In addition to Isaksen, Zaccagni scored the first goal from open play, the second in a row after the penalty against Nice. Dia was caged by D’Aversa, yet he earned himself a penalty with a high school play that had also freed Isaksen to shoot, before Ayroldi’s correct intervention. Castellanos then missed the penalty, but he fought like a man possessed for 100 minutes and added to this the great play that gave way to Pedro’s goal. We have already said about the Spaniard, the biancoceleste offensive pentagram is completed by the red arrow from Lisbon. Nuno Tavares is currently the defender who makes the most difference in Europe. Best assister in Serie A with 5, only Saka with 7 has done better in the top five European leagues. He shares second place with Palmer, Yamal, Baena, Kane and Joao Neves. An assist machine that perfectly accompanies Baroni’s offensive poker, creator of a Lazio that entertains, has fun, and also trusts Pedro.
