Lazio, with five wins and a draw in the first six matchdays, surprised everyone with an unprecedented performance. The Biancoceleste club, before this season, had never achieved a similar result in Serie A, and now finds itself at the top of the championship, tied with Inter. Simone Gattuso's team showed dominant form, especially in the 3‑1 win over Monza, where they displayed attacking play and solid defence.
In the match against Monza, the opening goal was scored by Tavares with a powerful left foot, followed by Isaksen's second goal which also hit a post. The third goal came thanks to a flash from PInamonti, who scored his first goal with the new shirt. The absence of Lucchesi, exiled in the 35th minute, reduced the team's numerical superiority, but Gattuso was able to make the most of the opportunities to guarantee the victory. The match was characterized by moments of tension, especially after the contact between Tavares and Birindelli, which led to a red card for the red and white, but the referee did not inflict any punishment.
Coach Gattuso highlighted the growth of his players, citing Mandas, Noslin, Belayane, Tavares and Isaksen as examples of regeneration. The team showed an effective and entertaining game, thanks to the leadership of Gattuso, who always tried to motivate his players to give their best. Gattuso's past, in particular his experience with the national team, was a point of reference for the team, and he recalled the emotional wound of the match against Bosnia, which left him without sleep for months.
Although the season has only just begun, Lazio seems to have found the right combination of talent and discipline. Gattuso has shown that he is ready to lead the team towards a successful future, and his determination is evident in every match. With Serie A still underway, Lazio are ready to continue their run to the top, while their supporters look forward to the next challenges.
