There is glory for everyone in Lazio Marco Baroni. The seventh consecutive success obtained last night at the Olimpico against Bologna brought the Biancocelesti back to second place in the standings, -1 behind leaders Napoli. Not only that, it allowed Lazio to join Inter in a special ranking, that of the number of different scorers in Serie A. Out of 27 goals scored, Lazio sent thirteen players on target. The last two in order of time are Samuel Gigot and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, the latter had already scored in Europe. If we also consider the Europa League, the number of scorers rises to 14 thanks to Romagnoli’s goal against Porto. In fact, only the 4 full-backs, Castrovilli and Rovella, are missing, which made it clear that the search for goals is one of the objectives for further growth. “I’m trying to improve in the offensive phase with goals and assists, the coach also tells me this” Rovella himself confirmed yesterday in the press conference. “I hope to stay here forever” added the Biancoceleste number six.
Lazio, Zaccagni leader and driving force
Many scorers plus a leader, the captain who is taking more and more responsibility on his shoulders. Zaccagni he found his third consecutive goal after goals against Monza and Cagliari, both decisive. Furthermore, he added the assist for Gigot’s lead, a winning pass that had been missing since mid-September in the home success against Verona. Zaccagni had not even scored three consecutive goals in Serie A since the beginning of January, when Lazio, beating Milan 4-0 at the Olimpico, began to believe they could enter the Champions League. For Baroni’s Lazio it is still too early to think about certain objectives, but the ranking makes you dream and the extraordinary performance of the entire squad forces you to think big. On Thursday against Ludogorets the Europa League discussion will be closed, then in Parma a fiery month of December will open with two matches against league leaders Napoli in three days, the European trip to Amsterdam, the two big matches at the Olimpico with Inter and Atalanta interspersed with the away match in Lecce. All to prepare the table for the derby on January 5th which will kick off 2025. There will be time to dream big, in the meantime Lazio flies on the wings of enthusiasm and seven consecutive victories.
