Stadio Rodolfo Zandegiacomo, Auronzo di Cadore
Lazio Perugia 3-0
Excellent game from Lazio with Felipe Anderson finally showing what he is capable of
The Biancocelesti were in the usual preseason training period at Auronzo di Cadore. They had already played a number of games, including Indonesia U23, and today they would face Perugia.
The match
In the morning Lazio had played an 80-minute friendly against Asiago Team winning 10-0. This meant that most of the players who may have found space in the second half in today’s game against Perugia had already played. As a consequence, Stefano Pioli tested his players over an 80-minute match to see how they were. The answer was certainly a positive one.
Still missing the World Cup players, the new central defender (who should have been Davide Astori but he instead decided to play for the other side of the Tiber, despite the fact that Lazio had offered more both to him and Cagliari) who rumour had it could be Stefan de Vrij, and Filip Djordjevic who could be ready by the end of the month, the Biancocelesti in a 4-3-3 formation were spectacular. Ahead with a Cristian Ledesma penalty in the 7th minute (foul on Stefano Mauri), Lazio doubled with a Diego Novaretti header in the 32nd minute and made it three with a whack from outside the box from Felipe Anderson in the 58th. Great performance from the Brazilian, finally showing what he could do. Also, very good were Federico Marchetti (some great saves) and Danilo Cataldi.
The match started five minutes late due to fights between the opposing supporters that forced the police to intervene with tear gas.
