Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni told DAZN after the 2-0 win against Sassuolo that the season has started excellently and that the club is very satisfied with the progress made. "It has been a beautiful journey, I have grown year after year. We are really happy with how we started this season", said the player, underlining the importance of constant growth over time.
During the interview Zaccagni dedicated his goal to his uncle, who is going through a difficult time. “The goal is for my uncle who is not having a good time, but he will get out of it,” said the captain, showing a more personal and human side of the footballer. His dedication sparked laughter from the fans present at the stadium, who responded with loud applause.
The player then commented on the atmosphere on the pitch, stating that "today felt more like playing at home than away". According to Zaccagni, the presence of the crowd relieved the pressure and made the match more comfortable for the team. "They are missing at home, I told them this tonight too. With them the legs weigh less", he added, highlighting the importance of the fans' support for the performance on the pitch.
On the topic of the ranking, Zaccagni declared that "it matters little" to be at the top for twenty-four hours. “The championship has just started and we see the satisfactions we can take away,” he explained, indicating that the team is focused on the long term and is not too worried about temporary positions. The interviewee also reiterated that Lazio is ready to continue fighting for the title, but that the priority is to maintain the cohesion and motivation of the group.
The result against Sassuolo consolidated Lazio's position at the top of the table, while the club continues to focus on a growth strategy based on teamwork and internal motivation. With the season still long ahead, the captain and his teammates appear ready to maintain the pace, focusing on the challenges ahead and achieving long-term goals.
