Lazio, the strength of substitutions: already seven goals from substitutes

Knowing how to exploit all the elements at your disposal. Among the many characteristics of this start of the season at Lazio, perhaps the main prerogative of Marco Baroni it is the ability to involve all the players at his disposal. “I’m happy because the three goals came from Noslin who hadn’t played for a long time and from two substitutes. This is nice because whoever comes in comes in at the most important moment of the match, the fact that this group is all fired up is important.” This is Baroni’s thought after the three goals against Genoa, which once again represent the strength of this Lazio team. There is not a single reference, a leader around which to build the offensive phase as happened for many years with Immobile, with extraordinary results. Baroni has created a goal cooperative, also capable of solving one of Lazio’s chronic problems.

Lazio, the strength of the Baroni group

It has always been said that the Lazio of Inzaghi first and Sarri then with the starting eleven could compete with anyone in Serie A. The problem arose with the substitutions, the lack of quality alternatives capable of giving the big names a breather and competing on more competitions. Baroni’s Lazio has completely denied this theorem, making many rotations and is first in Europa League and of the 26 goals this season, seven came as substitutes. Three in the last two games, with Isaksen scoring in Holland and the two goals scored first by Pedro and then Vecino against Genoa. To these must be added the goals of Isaksen in Udine, Noslin in Turin, Zaccagni with Nice in the Europa League and Pedro against Empoli at the Olimpico. In view of Thursday’s match against Como, Baroni’s rotations should be reduced to a minimum, with the first indications coming from the pre-match scheduled for the afternoon in Formello.
