Lazio anytime can give you 2 goals, Especially when a certain Pedro enters the field, which is a real star, despite the age he has. We go further. I am happy for Ondrejka and the work he is doing, he has barely arrived and scored three times.

The road is long, it has a lot to work, but the quality it has is observed. He knows how to do certain things, and today he gave us a serious help, “said Cristi Chivu at the end of the match on” Olimpico “.

“We lacked the game of passes in the first half. In the second, we set out to pass more in the opponent half, but Ondrejka, even if he was born extreme, seeks to always enter the center, to play among the lines. He helped us a lot defensive, but also offensive, ”said the Parma coach.
