Reja demanding luck and desperate for a win against F.C Zurich: Europa League news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 manager, Edy Reja, believes that it is about time that the luck should favour his side in the UEFA Europa League.
The Biancazzurri are placed bottom of the Group D after drawing two and losing the other game of the three matches played thus far. However, their league form has been really impressive so far as they have picked up 18 points from
the nine matches played are only one point behind leaders, Juventus.
Lazio will take on FC Zurich in an important UEFA Champions League encounter at the Stadio Olimpico Rome on Thursday, November 3rd, 2011. The tactician knows the importance of the game and believes that his team is very
unlucky despite playing some quality football throughout the tournament. The 66-year-old added that his team has created several goal-scoring opportunities but they did not take the chances.
Reja said, “You just have to look at the table to realise how important this game is.”
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 boss is still ruing the first-leg result against F.C Zurich recently, and believes that his team deserved much better from the game after dominating the show.
“You just have to look at the table to realise how important this game is. We have been very unlucky in Europe up until now. We created so many chances, but were unable to turn them into goals. Just look at the first leg against
Zurich, as we were the only team playing attacking football, so it was a great shame to lose after conceding a goal like that. We have got to fight back and tomorrow all we must do is win.”
Reja is confident that his team can still bounce back and seal the qualification for the next round as there are still three games left to play.
The veteran tactician is troubled by selection problems for the game against Zurich and revealed that midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hernanes-c16150 and defender, Abdoullay Konko, are serious doubts for the match. The manager is thinking about giving rest
to his star strikers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049 and Djibril Cisse, for this game.
After the game against Zurich, the Biancocelesti will host Parma on Sunday, November 6th, 2011.
