The Biancazzurri boss still overjoyed after the derby win, and urges his team to aim for the Scudetto; blasts the fans for the racist abuse on Roma defender Juan.
Head-coach, Edy Reja, believes that Lazio can beat any side in the Serie A, and has not ruled out the chances of winning the Scudetto.
Lazio registered a 2-1 win over AS Roma in Derby della Capitale at Stadio Olimpico Rome on Sunday, March 4. Reja is still buoyant after the Biancazzurri completed their first double in the derby in 15 years.
The capital side moves to the third-spot in the table after the win, and remain only six points behind top-placed AC Milan. Reja is confident that the derby success will take Lazio a long way, and the team will pose a serious challenge
for trophies.
Despite a wonderful run of form of late, the 66-year-old has urged his team to remain grounded, and wants them to focus on their next league commitments. He insists that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 should look to achieve the maximum rather than look
to do best they can.
While talking to the reporters, Edy Reja said:
“I want you to recognise the values of this team. We must always go on to the field to win. Now, let’s enjoy this, but even with Bologna it will be tough and that is followed by facing the revelation of the League, Catania. We
have to think about doing the best we can, achieving the maximum, then if we do not win, it is only because the opponent is better than us.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 also thanked the club supporters for showing faith in him, and insisted that he had a wonderful sleep after a long time.
“After a week of insomnia, I finally slept well and I woke up at ease - yesterday was a great joy, many friends have sent me messages and I have received many phone calls, thank you everyone.”
Reja felt bad for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 defender, Juan, who was racially abused by the crowd during the game. The tactician has also backed his team’s stance of supporting the Brazilian international.
Lazio will face Bologna in their next match at Stadio Olimpico Rome on Sunday, March 11.
