If Gennaro Gattuso has not left an impression on the minds of OM supporters, he enchants those of Lazio. By correcting Sassuolo on its lawn with a score of 6-2 Tuesday evening, the club coached by the former midfielder confirms its historic start to the season and seizes first place in Serie A, while awaiting the Inter Milan match, away this Wednesday on the Venice lawn. But Gattuso, 48, refuses to get too carried away. “We must not look at the rankings, otherwise we will have headaches”he declared after the meeting.
However, he recognizes the quality of his team’s start to the season, with 8 wins and 1 draw in 9 contested days. “We are doing incredible things, but we have to face the facts. We have a path to go, and this path involves work, match after match”. Eliminated from the Italian Cup in August, and without any European competition on the program, Lazio could well create a surprise for a little longer.
