It is an intercontinental Lazio that becomes the protagonist even during the national team break. After Matteo Guendouzi’s decisive contribution in Israel-France, with the Biancoceleste midfielder scoring a goal and an assist on Thursday evening, two more of Marco Baroni’s players were protagonists in yesterday’s Africa Cup qualifying matches. The first was Fisayo Dele-Bashirua midfielder who decided the match between Nigeria and Libya and who in fact put a first mortgage on the Nigerian national team to qualify for the next Africa Cup of Nations. Coming on 20 minutes from time in place of Alex Iwobi, the Biancoceleste number 7 came in on Simon’s cross from the left and decided the match with his right foot. Easier match for Senegal, but which marks Boulaye Dia’s return to the national team seven months after his last appearance. The sixth goal of the season also arrived for the Biancoceleste center forward, the goal which effectively closed the match with a partial 3-0, before the definitive 4-0 by Nicolas Jackson.
The program for the next few days
Not just goals, there is also an assist among the Biancocelesti ranks in the matches played yesterday. The one who served it was Loum Tchaouna, who as a starter for the France Under 21 team provided the assist for the momentary 0-2 in Cyprus for Monaco’s Akliouche’s goal. A negative evening instead for the Lazio players involved in the Nations League, with two defeats for Marusic and Hysaj against Montenegro and Albania. Tomorrow Gustav Isaksen will take to the field in Spain, with Barons who will have to wait at least Wednesday to have everyone back at his disposal. Meanwhile, in Formello, work continues with those who did not leave with their respective national teams. Management of the forces under the orders of the Biancoceleste coach, with the various injured players who are recovering. The only one who worries about his injury is Lazzari, who risks staying until the next international break scheduled for mid-November.
