Opposites in power. Felipe and Stephen, the young and the old, offer a night of Champions League at Lazio. Second consecutive victory, still under the sign of the odd couple formed by the young Brazilian and outside Monza, already decisive and both goals in a week ago in Parma. This time he scored only Mauri, but Anderson was the pick of the attack biancoceleste, single ball in the first half and the protagonist of the acceleration in a subsequent assist for the opening goal. Not many owners, without the lighthouse Biglia and star Candreva, Stephen and Felipe have relaunched the Lazio. The difficult time seems exceeded, the triptych of horror (runners with Empoli and Juventus draw at Chievo) finally behind, third place dreamed by President Lotito hooked at least for one night. And the credit – scenery unthinkable only a few weeks ago – is also the former mysterious object Anderson, arrived in the summer of 2013 with great expectations but too long lost in Italian football. Never, until now, the Brazilian had guessed three straight games, illuminating a Lazio not as bright as two months ago. “The goals have given great confidence to Felipe – said Pioli – He has great talent, technique and fitness is very young and still has to grow much. For this we are doing a daily work in the field, in front of the video and also from the mental point of view. Is improving choices, now has to find more continuity and attack more often the depth. ”
For the moment, however, Felipe can rightly celebrate the latest convincing performance. Last night he left the stadium with a big smile, just like Mauri, new season’s top scorer with six goals of Lazio, on par with the bomber Djordjevic. “I feel good physically – said the captain biancoceleste – I’m playing in a role that I like, I do not give reference points to attack, and I often find myself in front of goal. Want to know if this is the best Lazio? We still have to improve a lot and we know, especially from the point of view of the game. Certainly it is very difficult to face teams like Atalanta closed, but in the second half we found the goal and legitimized the victory. For us it was important to get a result, now we have to continue like this. ” Mauri is “happy,” Pioli praised him (“Stephen has a great tactical acumen, always plays with intelligence, is very good at taking up the free areas of the field and facilitate the placement of fellows’) and the captain looks ahead with confidence. “We know our goal season and will try to achieve it – said Mauri – will not be easy, right now we have so many injured players, but we are good and we have a good group. Giving continuity to the result of the Tardini was essential, let’s enjoy this victory and look forward to the other matches scheduled for the weekend. Although we must think only of ourselves and focus immediately on the next match against Inter: Milan want the third consecutive win. “
