The Latium returned this Sunday, after a draw with Sampdoria and a loss against Napoli, on the way to victory at the expense of Hellas Verona (2-0) with the new main performance of the Italian Ciro Immobile and the Spanish Luis Alberto, who signed a goal each and, again, unmistakable beacons of ‘laziali’ at the beginning of the Serie A campaign.
It was not a completely calm start to the season for the men led by the Italian Maurizio Sarri, but after a good image shown in the Europa League in the clash against Feyenoord, he also regained his smile in the Italian domestic championship. All from the hand of the common, Not moving Y Luis Alberto.
He introduced changes to Sarri’s eleven and brought Brazilian Marcos Antonio into midfield for the first time since he arrived in the summer transfer market in exchange for the Spanish midfielder. The ‘mage’ has to wait for the second attack to participate.
After a very close first half where Verona had chances to take the lead, Sarri moved the bench and in the 55th minute, Luis Alberto led the middle of the field. Lazio improved upon the entry of its conductor and, with increasing ease, chances followed one another.
Until Verona made a mistake. And in the area, against a striker like Immobile, mistakes are very expensive. After an error in releasing the ball, Serbian Milinkovic-Savic took a lateral center that was not attacked by the defense or the visiting goal, allowing him to pass to the second post, where he awaited his sentence. Immobile headed in at will to seal the ‘biancocelesti’ victory.
The game opened at the Olimpico in Rome and, with Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic playing their hearts out, Immobile and Cancelleri had two good chances to extend the lead. Both were well blocked by Italian goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo.
VAR disallowed Cancelleri’s own offside goal in added time, which was a warning for the second goal. This time, in charge of the other main character of this team, a Luis Alberto who in the 94th minute had the necessary stop on the edge of the area to find the space and beat Montipo.
Important victory for a Lazio that recovers good feelings in Serie A and, with eleven points, is sixth pending the result of Roma, while Verona remains fourteenth with five points.
