The Lazio head coach was overjoyed after his men took three points against a resilient http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, and further stressed of the need to collect points against Juventus.
The Biancocelesti would be travelling to Turin to face Juventus in the week 32 fixture of the Serie A. As the final few rounds of the Serie A come close, the stakes will
continue to get higher. Even though we are still seven matches till the end of the season, there is still a lot of tussling going on.
The race to the Scudetto has picked up pace as Juventus overtook AC Milan into the first position of the Lega. Juventus would be looking to capitalise on their one point
lead over Milan and hope that the Rossoneri drop points against Chievo.
Lazio extended their lead at the third position by a further three points after collecting a victory over the Partenopei over the weekend. Reja conceded that his side were
not going through their best patch of the season, but he hoped that this victory would fill his team with the necessary confidence required to build a good momentum towards the end of the season.
He further commented:
"We are enjoying this moment after the victory against Napoli. We were not going through a good moment and the Partenopei are a strong side, but we had a great game. We
had several chances to score and this could be a decisive result for us."
However, he threw caution to the wind and reminded everyone at the club that they should not give in to complacency like they did after the AS Roma victory, earlier in the
season. He remarked:
"We are all very happy, but we need to stay focused, because we know what happened after the victory against Roma and we do not want to make the same mistake."
Reja was full of praise for Antonio Conte and his men, and lauded their performances throughout the season, and opined:
"Juve are in great shape, but I hope that after Saturday's victory, we have regained our fitness and nerve to try to fight for every ball on Wednesday and then for the rest
of the league."
