Serie A: Sassuolo-Lazio on the pitch on Tuesday at 6.30pm LIVE

A new exam to demonstrate, once again, that we are great and can continue to dream. After Parma, beaten at the Olimpico on Saturday night, giving themselves a night as a solitary league leader, Gattuso's Lazio finds itself facing the obstacle of Sassuolo, coming off just one point in the last 4 games but capable of holding Milan to a draw and beating Juventus. But if Gilardino's team, for the Biancocelesti, could have been the classic banana peel on which to be careful not to slip, Aquilani's, given the results obtained with the big teams, is an opponent to be taken with a pinch of salt.

A match in which to rely once again on humility and the ability to not underestimate anyone, concepts expressed by Gattuso himself on several occasions and reiterated once again to the team before the family lunch, inside the Formello sports centre, in which the sporting director Angelo Fabiani and the president Claudio Lotito were also present. This time, the fans will also return to play a decisive role. The Biancocelesti will also find the support of their fans; if the Olimpico, despite the primacy and the record trail that has already allowed Gattuso to enter history, continues to be deserted due to the protest against the president, the fans far from the Capitoline stadium will once again be at the side of the team to support the players. A mass exodus of Lazio supporters is expected, ready to travel throughout Italy to support a team that is making people dream.

The invitation has already gone out to bring flags and scarves to push Gattuso's men towards a new victory, which would be the eighth in nine days and the fifth in a row. A paradox - empty stadium at home, thousands of fans following outside - which is not affecting the record run under the leadership of Gattuso. The former Azzurri coach is ready to surprise once again by relying on the same men who defeated Juventus and Parma - with the only open ballot in defense between Provstgaard and Diogo Leite - and a Pinamonti, former player, not yet at the top but who should sit on the bench after the last minute withdrawal against the yellow-blues. Because, although Gattuso does not want to abandon himself to the Scudetto illusion, reiterating after the success at the Olimpico that "we have little to do with it up there", Lazio have no intention of abandoning the dream too soon. Continuing his ride against Sassuolo and savoring, once again, the pleasure of spending a night as a solitary league leader.
