THE EVE

No dizziness, Lazio wants to continue to amaze by flying high. The Biancocelesti, who will face Monza at the Olimpico upon returning from the long break for the national teams, have no intention of taking their foot off the accelerator. And, precisely for this reason, coach Gennaro Gattuso asks his team to be "widely alert and not to be surprised. We have to be ready, it will take great humility. It seems like an easy match but we will need a great Lazio to bring the points home".

On the horizon, in fact, there is the match against Juric's team in which to confirm the primacy despite the admission of the coach who is ready to remind us that "I don't look at the rankings, then along the way we'll see where we get to. I'm not dizzy, but we need humility and the desire to continue to surprise as we have done up to now", his thought reiterated once again. A match that promises to be a trap for the Biancocelesti, to be faced with several absences - including Marusic, Gudmundsson and Rovella - and the unknown of a "particular, long" break for the national teams. We gave playing time to many players who were missing it" and from which "someone returned from the national team excited", but with many minutes in their legs like Provstgaard, still on the pitch with Denmark.

There is no space, however, for alibis, including that of the fans who will once again leave the stands empty and about whom Gattuso, while admitting that "it is a shame to play in a stadium like the Olimpico without our fans", no longer wants to talk about because "it is becoming tiresome for me to always repeat the same things". A challenge not to be missed, therefore, for Lazio ready to continue their positive streak - the Biancocelesti are still unbeaten in the league with four wins and a draw - but above all with the desire to continue to look down on their rivals from first place in the standings to move from being the surprise of this start to the championship to a solid reality of the new Serie A.
