Lazio’s report cards

PROVEDEL 5.5: Furuhashi’s shot is central but very close. Not too responsive, but not to be condemned either.

LAZZARI 6: in the first half he tries to push in his lane, receiving little collaboration from Felipe Anderson. In the second half he thinks more about the coverage phase. (from 84′ MARUSIC sv)

PATRIC 6: preferred to Casale for his greater speed, given the characteristics of the Scottish attack. He doesn’t make mistakes.

ROMAGNOLI 6: Furuhashi is lost on the occasion of the goal conceded, he redeems himself in the final with a providential slide on Palma launched into the net.

HYSAJ 5.5: suffers from Maeda’s incursions, Celtic’s goal comes from his area. It limits itself exclusively to the defensive phase, without projecting forward.

KAMADA 5.5: he is not comfortable in the role of right mid-winger and he confirms this this evening. No flash of play, he just carries out the normal administration.

VECINO 6.5: scores the equalizer with his specialty, the header. He plays in front of the defense, guaranteeing a decent filter.

LUIS ALBERTO 6.5: he is clearly the most technical player among the 22 on the pitch. Lazio’s ideas come exclusively from his feet, in the end Sarri saves him a few minutes from a championship perspective. (from the 68th minute GUENDOUZI 6.5: he enters and is the protagonist by providing the winning assist for Pedro)

FELIPE ANDERSON 4.5: bad evening for the Brazilian, he practically didn’t guess one. He misses many passes and always makes the wrong choice on some plays in the area. Convoluted. (from 68′ ISAKSEN 6: he also takes part in the winning goal, otherwise we don’t see much).

PROPERTY 5: perhaps because he is not supported by the wingers, he receives few playable balls and is limited to a few plays for his teammates. Never dangerous. (from 72′ CASTELLANOS 5.5: he gets a yellow for an overhead kick that hits Carter-Vickers in the face)

ZACCAGNI 5: lots of dynamism, but little concreteness. A few bucks and little more, Zaccagni is not the best. (from the 84th minute PEDRO 7: the man of heavy goals. It’s no coincidence that he scored such an important goal in the 95th minute. A cunning header, precision before power. Decisive.

Annex SARRI 6: the overall performance is lackluster. Celtic played a more intense match and the Biancocelesti suffered for long stretches from the fast combinations of the Scottish attackers. The changes rewarded him with the decisive action made by the Guendouzi-Pedro duo, both of whom entered the final stages of the match.
