Five goals conceded and an unbeaten home run lost. The first midweek round of the 2024/25 Serie A brings out all the limitations of Como, overwhelmed at the Sinigaglia by a super Lazio. Baroni’s team wins 5-1 taking advantage of all the home team’s carelessness And flies to third place in the standings, together with Fiorentina and Atalanta.
It is the victory of a mature group, aware of its means, a perfect machine – at least for the moment – in which everyone is useful and knows what to do. From Tavares to Patric up to Pedro, Castellanos and their successorsthe one on the lake shore is a capital team performance, which can set unthinkable goals.
Few, perhaps, would have believed in such a positive start to the season in Rome, led by a coach who, with the lights off, is conquering the Biancoceleste square with humility and above all with results. Marco Baroni is the emblem of this working-class but brazen Lazio and at times beautiful to look at, courageous and authoritarian: “Today (yesterday, ed.) was an important test for our ambitions”he declared at the end of the match. But where does this Lazio want (and can) go? And what is the limit of this ambition?
