The Biancazzurri boss extremely delighted with the win over Giallorossi; the former Napoli manager targets a UEFA Champions League place for the next season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 manager, Edy Reja, is over the moon after the Biancocelesti’s first Derby della Capitale double in 15 years.
The Biancazzurri defeated local rivals AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hernanes-c16150 opened the scoring for the visitors in the 10th minute, before Stefano Mauri’s
second-half strike sealed much important three points for the Eagles.
After being involved in a controversy over his resignation recently, Reja insisted that he wants to forget that moment, and is delighted with the result of the derby. The 66-year-old believes that his side is on the right track,
and is hopeful of improving on the league standing of the previous season.
While talking to the reporters, Edy Reja said:
“There was an exchange of opinions with the directors and then we sorted it out. I realise it doesn’t happen every day that a Coach resigns when in third place, but I was coming off the 5-1 defeat to Palermo and was a little tense,
so reacted that way. Our ambition was to improve what we did last season, which wasn’t easy, but the club worked well on the transfer market and we’re on track.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 boss has urged his team to remain focused on the league, as after being dumped out of the UEFA Europa League, securing a third-spot in the Serie A should be their only mission of the season.
“There is a long way to go, we’re currently in a good position and I hope the team can maintain this concentration now that we’re no longer in Europe.”
Reja revealed that he was feeling very nervous during the game, as he believes that a one-goal cushion is never enough.
The win puts Lazio back in the third-spot, and they remain only three points behind Juventus, who are second in the table. The capital side will face Bologna in their next game on Sunday, March 11.
