There are three main pillars on which Lazio's most convincing course since the 1999-2000 season, its 100th birthday, is based. At that time, the Roma team won the first (and only so far) doubles of its history and its second championship, coached by Sven Goran Eriksson and huge personalities such as Alessandro Nesta, Pavel Nedved, Diego Simeoney, Diego Simeone. and Juan Sebastian Veron.
Marcelo Salas was the top scorer in the championship with twelve goals, but overall in all competitions, this honor belonged to Simone Inzaggi (19 goals), the architect of the current, extraordinary football edifice.
The younger brother of Inzagki has made sure to clarify the role of every player on the pitch. Everyone knows their position and what they need to do, and proper planning has allowed for two reliable solutions for each position.
Second best performance
Last summer, Inzaghi made sure the preparation was longer and more focused than in 2018, with no tours to exotic destinations and friendlies across Europe. The excellent work of the coaches has reduced the injuries and, at the same time, allows the team to look… rocket-powered for a long time during the games.
The good… dissolves in the attack, the absolute reference point of the team. Because, apart from the "killer" Imobile (25 goals), valuable for the team are both Felipe Caicedo (eight goals), who gives many solutions coming from the bench, and Joaquin Correa (six goals).
The three together score 39 goals, or 73,5% of the league's goals (53), with Lazio finishing second behind Atalanta (61) and ahead of Inter (48) and Juventus (44). .
One game a week
Lazio, of course, does not have the cynicism of Inter with Antonio Conte on the bench or the clearly more quality solutions in the roster that the Nerazzurri have. It also lacks the… Juventus τους know-how in winning championships, nor does it have a "space" player like Cristiano Ronaldo. So what;
She has the ignorance of risk and the certainty that, even if she does not win the championship, her season will be successful as she has, beyond shockingly unexpectedly, secured her return to the Champions League for the first time since 2015. at +9 compared to fifth in the Atalanta rankings.
With a significant difference, in fact, in relation to her last presence. At that time, Lazio was eliminated in the playoffs by Bayer Leverkusen and was left with the… sheet in hand. Now it has secured its presence in the group stage, with all that (financial and not only) this entails.
In Lazio's favor, except for the less stressful than the other two contenders, and the fact that he only gives up one fight a week, while Inter and Juve continue in the Cup (they have at least two games for the semifinals) while having and European obligations.
The Nerazzurri, of course, are likely to sacrifice the course of the Europa League for the sake of the championship, something that does not apply to the Bianconeri, for whom winning the Champions League is an ardent desire.
On December 7, Lazio confirmed their candidacy for something big this year by defeating Juventus in Rome (3-1). On Sunday (16/02), it welcomes Inter in a duel that is considered crucial for the outcome of this year's Serie A, as well as the match Juventus - Inter, on March 1st. No, this year's championship in Italy will by no means be an Old Lady walk…
