Tavares’ report cards – When he enters the game, the game ends. Already 5 assists for Rocketman

“The usual train in the left lane. Just before the break, he puts the ball in the middle which Zaccagni converts to make it 1-1.” On TMW last night we rewarded the Lazio side like this, Nuno Tavaresauthor of yet another convincing performance yesterday afternoon against Empoli. “It starts slowly. Then it lights up and comes the assist for Zaccagni (the 5th) and the penalty for Dia”, he writes instead La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“When he entered the game, the game was over. The stop-and-go assist for Zaccagni, the fifth. The penalty (later saved) was born from his attack. It’s still Rocketman”, says the Corriere dello Sport next to his 7 for the summer signing – the best so far – of Lotito’s team. “The fifth assist is a precision stroke at the end of a staid first half. It grows in the second half”, adds the newspaper Tuttosport along with its 6.5. “Off switch until the umpteenth assist of his season: footwork to send Gyasi to the cinema, the attendant to stamp himself on him, and put in the right cross for Zaccagni’s head”, the portal comments LaLazioSonoNoi bringing the former Nottingham Forest class of 2000 back to 7th.
