Edy Reja demands focus against Lecce and all-praise for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003: Serie A news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 manager, Edy Reja, admitted that he is not worried with the form of other teams in race for the Scudetto and he is only concentrating on his side's next league game.
The Biancazzurri will take on bottom placed, Lecce, at the Stadio Via del Mare on Saturday, 10 December 2011. The capital club is looking to close the gap on league leaders, Juventus, as they are only four points behind them.
Despite Lecce’s struggles in the ongoing season, Reja has warned his troops to be wary of the opposition because they are a dangerous team in their own backyard. The Salentini recently appointed former Palermo boss, Serse Cosmi,
as their new manager and Reja believes that the team will definitely improve under him.
The former Napoli boss has urged his players to remain focused on their game and they must not think about their title rivals. Reja believes that each and every point is important as strugglers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 can make
a strong comeback in the latter half of the season.
“Let’s go to Lecce to impose our game. We have to enter the field with the right mentality. We know about Cosmi’s experience, he will have a strong impact when it comes to the players to motivate them highly. We do not care what
others are doing. We must maintain this gap from fifth place.”
Lazio are currently placed 4th in the league table after picking up 25 points from 13 matches played thus far.
Reja also heaped praise on his former employers, Napoli, for qualifying for the last 16 round of the UEFA Champions League. The 66-year-old brought the club back to the top level after they were struggling in the Serie C in 2005.
Reja believes that the Partenopei side has made huge inroads in a very short period. Reja believes that partial credit of Napoli’s current success goes to him and also praised the club’s bosses.
“I was part of this project’s initiation. Some of the merit is mine, but most of it belongs to [President Aurelio] De Laurentiis who has provided unobtrusive financial support and Walter Mazzarri who is doing an extraordinary http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.”
