PedroLazio striker, who scored in Lazio’s victory against Ajax in the Netherlands, spoke in the mixed area after the match. These are his words collected by lalaziosiamonoi.it: “We are first, two games left and we want to finish in the best possible way. Today another very important performance, in a complicated stadium against a very good team. We suffered a bit, they created good opportunities but in the end we controlled well We played a good game, a good victory and that’s the most important thing.”
Lazio is also growing in Europe…
“An important journey, we have taken a step forward. The team has grown a lot in terms of mentality and personality. We must continue in this way, at every stage.”
Is Lazio already great?
“In my opinion, yes. It’s true, we can grow even more, our goal must be to always play in the Champions League. The team is growing a lot, the boys are playing well. Many players, who are now very young, will be able to be even more important in the future. Soon to say, but they are working very well to become very strong players!”.
With these performances, will the retirement move away?
“I hope so. I want to enjoy every minute, every match. When you get a little older, you want to enjoy every minute because you never know when it will be the last one. I’m also happy for the boys who are working very well, the other Isaksen scored today, today Tchaouna, Dele too. They are guys who will grow a lot and will certainly be very important.”
Inter are on Monday, what match will it be?
“Definitely very difficult for us. Inter are the strongest in Italy, we will have to prepare them as best we can. We will play at home, in front of our fans, it will be a good but difficult match. Inter are a good team but it’s not impossible We can beat it, but we will obviously have to put in a great performance, let’s see what happens.”
Do you give the ranking a look?
“We can dream, we have to do it. It’s difficult, it’s true, there are still many games left both in the league and in Europe. If we are so focused and play so well, we can become an even stronger team.”
Are we talking about the Scudetto?
“No not yet, it’s too early to say. We want to think match after match, we can’t think now about winning the Europa League or Serie A. On the other hand, however, we can’t let him ‘escape’, he has to stay there. It will be difficult also for Inter to fight.”
