Hernanes looking to replicate last season’s form and hoping to improve on last season’s finish
Lazio midfielder, Hernanes, is confident that his team can better the last season’s fifth place finish in the 2011/12 campaign.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 had a wonderful start to the 2010/11 campaign and remained in the top four for major part of the season. However, a string of poor results after the Christmas break neglected them of a place in next season’s UEFA Champions
League.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hernanes-c16150 joined the Biancazzurri last season and had a fantastic debut campaign with the club. The former Sao Paolo star finished the campaign as the highest goal-scorer for the club and finished with 12 strikes from 37 games in
all competitions.
The 26-year-old is livid on missing out on Champions League football but he has urged his team-mates to put the disappointment on their backs and look forward to improve in the next season. The Brazilian added that the staff and
the team members sat down together and analyzed where they went wrong. He is confident that the mistakes they made will not be repeated in the next season.
Talking to the reporters Hernanes said, “We have understood what mistakes were made. We’ll try not to make the same errors again and we know our strengths. I’m convinced that we’ll be able to better our position from the season
before.
“We want to do all that we can to honour this shirt and make our incredible fans proud. We’ll prepare the best we can to do well in all the competitions that we will be playing in.”
Hernanes also praised his manager, Edy Reja, for helping him settle at the club and believes that he is an ideal person to manage a big club like Lazio. The attacking midfielder has full faith in the tactician that he will add
quality players to the squad and help the club to get back in European competitions.
Hernanes is focused on winning the UEFA Europa League and insists that his team is favourite to win the competition. The midfielder has also become a regular member of the Brazilian national team squad and has made 3 appearances
so far.
