Lazio is enjoying an extraordinary start to the season, flying toward objectives that until recently seemed out of reach. Nine wins and one draw in 10 matches, first place in the table and a three-point advantage over Inter. A run that surpasses even the most optimistic expectations, bringing back to the capital the dreams of a historic season.
As Cagliari failed to stop the biancocelesti. Pisacane’s side, known for its strong defensive organisation, succumbed to the quality and composure of Gattuso’s players. Although the opponent initially took the lead, Lazio responded with maturity, turning the result around and confirming that its success is not merely a chance moment.
After ten weeks, one can no longer speak of a passing surprise. Lazio is a well-built side, with a clear identity, consolidated patterns and players who know each other’s characteristics in detail. Taylor, Isaksen and the rest of the group are showing a high level, while players coming off the bench can also become decisive, as Pinamonti proved.
The main concern remains the limited number of alternatives and the risk of physical fatigue over the season. However, the fact that Lazio has only the league as its objective and plays one match a week constitutes a significant advantage.
In this run, Gattuso somewhat recalls Osvaldo Bagnoli, the coach who led Verona to its historic title in the 1984-1985 season. Both are united by humility, realism and trust in the group. Their message is the same: you don’t celebrate along the way, only at the end.
