The last time that Adam Marusic he had scored at the Olympic Stadium in 2018. Parma was there, Lazio won 4 to 1, the other goals were from Luis Alberto, a brace that day, and Lulic. It was Simone Inzaghi’s team, with Correa and Caicedo in attack, Milinkovic Savic and Lucas Leiva in midfield, Acerbi in front of Strakosha.
And Marusic, Marusic was always there. Holder, on the right wing or on the left, it doesn’t matter, if he also serves in midfield, in certain matches even in the center. Marusic is always there. And sometimes he knows how to give joys that are worth more than the three points.

A goal to dream
“He has his ideas, he wants us to be more aggressive and this evening we showed that we know how to play. We have to continue like this, it takes time to understand everything better but we showed something already tonight. I play where the coach wants, depending on who is there I change roles”. Marusic spoke like this at the end of the match against Juventus, decided with his goal in the 93rd minute.
