Lazio and Inter will clash at the Stadio Olimpico on the evening of Monday 16 December, with Le Aquile looking to demonstrate that the form they have shown this season has not been a fluke, but rather an expression of the hard work put in by manager Marco Baroni and his players.
One of those is Senegalese international Boulaye Dia, whose versatility and athleticism in attack has helped drive the Rome-based team forward.
“We all know how great Lazio is, it’s an important step for any player. Here, we play against the best teams. Scoring lots of goals is what counts, a striker is judged by this factor,” said Dia. “We have to do our best without thinking about those who were here before us.”
The weekend’s action opens on Friday night with Empoli hosting Torino, while Saturday is headlined by Napoli visiting Udinese and Juventus hosting Venezia – with both heavyweights chasing key points in what is becoming a thrilling title race.
“We must not look at the standings, or at other clubs, but at ourselves,” said Partenopei manager Antonio Conte. “We have to improve in what we are working on. We have to take steps to raise our level.”
As for the Bianconeri, American international Timothy Weah – the son of Liberian legend George Weah – has added great value to their attack, according to manager Thiago Motta.
“I like all he does. Especially the fact that he scores goals. Strikers need to finish an attack. He does many other things well, and it’s very interesting because he offers alternative solutions,” said the Juve boss.
“He can play on the left, on the right, or as a striker. He helps, and he’s responsible. He understands what the team needs and his duties. We are happy he’s in good form, he must continue like this, whether he starts or not.”
Sunday features Fiorentina away to Bologna, Roma visiting beautiful Como, and AC Milan chasing three points when they welcome Genoa to the iconic San Siro.
