Lazio-Monza, Luka Romero: “What a thrill to score at the Olimpico”

He turns 18 in a week. He not only gave himself a giant gift but he did it to the whole Biancoceleste world. Luka Romero scored his first, very heavy, Serie A goal in the 69th. He took advantage of Di Gregorio’s indecision after a shot from Pedro and decided on a game that had hitherto been very hard for Lazio against Monza. A special goal that gives Sarri’s team second place and the connection to Milan.

The analysis

—

Humility and application. These are the two keywords of the biancoceleste climb, the mantra of Maurizio Sarri: “I told the boys that it was a game where we had to accept that Monza would put us in difficulty. In the first half we didn’t succeed, it was the most difficult match at the level. mental after the Derby, the risk of a misstep was high. It gives us hope that we won in a situation where we were in trouble last year. ” Until next time, Lazio will go to Turin from second in the standings to play the direct match with their former Juventus: “The standings at the moment are worth zero. I think it is an important match, but not decisive”.
