http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 manager, Edy Reja, has hailed his team for a wonderful fight back to beat Fiorentina 2-1 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday, October 2nd, 2011.
The visitors trailed very early in the game through Alessio Cerci’s 8th minute strike but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hernanes-c16150 put the visitors on level terms in the first-half. Miroslav Klose’s match winning strike minutes before the full-time
whistle handed the Biancazzurri their second win of the league season.
Reja has heaped praise on his team for the great character and spirit they showed throughout the game and believes that the win will take them a long way in terms of confidence. The 65-year-old believes that his team played with
so much desire and hunger despite the hot and tiring conditions in Florence.
Reja said, “This was the victory of a team with great character, especially in the second half when we were running low on energy.”
The tactician also praised his team’s defending and believes that they defended brilliantly throughout the match. Reja admitted that playing away against the Viola side is always a tough task but his team played with so much authority
and created a lot of chances.
“It was incredibly hot today and both sides created chances. It was a good game, in the circumstances. We did well when defending and kept control of the tempo."
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 manager heaped special praise on Cristian Brocchi and Klose for a wonderful display in the game. The veteran star showed great experience and was not overhauled by the heating conditions and made great sacrifices
for the sake of the team.
The manager also praised the former Bayern Munich striker for his contributions since joining the club this summer. The German international has scored three goals in five matches thus far.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-Brocchi-c9510 deserves particular praise, as he is extraordinary in how he sacrifices himself for the team. I just hope he can keep it up for the whole season. As for Klose, he is a fantastic striker and I already wanted him
at Lazio in January.”
The victory moves Lazio at the 7th spot on the league table.
