A round victory. A victory that makes Lazio fly even more. Marco Baroni’s team beats Bologna 3-0 at the Olimpico and climbs ever higher in the standings. The Capitoline team certified their success in the second half of the match with goals from Gigot, Zaccagni and Dele-Bashiru.
Baroni’s comment
This is Marco Baroni’s analysis in the conference: “When you come from a break where we worked with 12-13 men and I gave space to those who didn’t have the gratification of the national team it’s not easy, we worked hard recovering the last players between Thursday and Friday. Today we worked on the mentality, it is clear that the sending off may have changed the match, but Bologna suffered with our mentality. We prepared solutions to put their pressure outside the area into difficulty, Zaccagni often came inside the pitch to catch several balls. Today I have to compliment the team for this mentality they have had, I consider Italiano one of the best coaches and it is always difficult to prepare for matches against him.”
The words of Italian
At the end of the match Vincenzo Italiano analyzed: “I get angry because it’s something we repeat every day, every training session and every technical meeting. In this football where everyone dribbles and has quality, giving away a man is like giving away the game to your opponents. We’ve got it tried with the two strikers taking it to the end, but an episode like this against a Lazio in such good condition doesn’t allow you to get a result. We managed to do positive things for 35 minutes, we even kicked on goal, but the sending off finished it off there match. We wanted to perform, it’s already the second sending off that doesn’t allow us to score points and I hope the boys take this situation on board, it’s difficult to stay on the pitch with a numerical inferiority. Now we have to think about Wednesday.”
