The outspoken Aquile chief was relieved to see his side return to winning ways yesterday and is now hopeful they will resume their march in Serie A. Lazio defeated Bologna 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico to end a seven-game winless run which had seen the Biancocelesti slide to the right-hand side of the Serie A table. This came much to the delight of the top brass in Rome.
“The team rediscovered themselves and I was pleased with the quality of our football,” President Claudio Lotito is quoted as saying by Italian news agency ANSA.
“I hope that our journey, which started in the first half of the tournament, will not be interrupted again. As I have said a few months ago, this team can challenge anyone. What’s important is that these imponderable factors will not show up again.”
Argentine striker Mauro Zarate finally ended his goal drought yesterday, as he netted a brace 75 days after his last goal in the game with Udinese last December.
“He just went through a diffult period and I am happy for him,” grinned Lotito. “We now hope that the worst is behind us and can look forward to our Coppa Italia semifinal tie with Juventus on Tuesday.
“It’s an important test that can turn around our season, but it’s a shame that Zarate will have to sit out a ban.”
