Vecino is your certainty, with him you always win: the exceptional fact

Matias Vecino is the certainty you can always rely on. In the summer it was Maurizio Sarri to get between his farewell and Galatasaray. The path seems already traced, the Uruguayan was looking for a new adventure where he could be a starter, but the ‘Commander’ had no intention of giving up one of his most loyal soldiers. Already trained at Empoli, ‘Vecio’ has always proved faithful to the coach, packing his bags for Rome when he called him, taking to the pitch and always giving everything when needed. This last characteristic, moreover, has always been part of his CV. Dedicated to sacrifice, he has always preferred quantity to quality, even if equipped with a technique that others can only envy. Both in the playmaker role, where he was often deployed by Sarri, and in the natural midfield role he always made himself available without ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’. A player to focus on with eyes closed and from whom Igor is also ready to start again Tudor who since he arrived in Formello has started him three times out of four, even going so far as to sacrifice players like Guendouzi and Cataldi.

ONLY DECISIVE GOALS – In short, a certainty for everything and everyone. The man you can always count on, who – as we have said – is always available for physical and athletic sacrifice, but who also offers significant offensive qualities. Suffice it to say that in less than two seasons with Lazio he has already scored 9 goals: only four fewer than those scored in five years with Inter (13) and three more than the three years in Fiorentina (6). What makes this data even more relevant, however, is the importance of these networks. From the brace against Feyenoord in the Europa League, to the last goal against Salernitana last Friday, every time Lazio has scored, they have always won. In 9 games he contributed to 24 pointsresulting decisive on 6 occasions: Feyenoord, Napoli, Turin, Atalanta, Udinese and even in the Champions League against Celtic. His goals allowed Lazio to equalize or take the lead, eventually managing to secure the three points. A sentence.

A NEW RECORD IN THE SIGHTS – A ruling that has shown itself to be in great form this season. The five goals scored in 32 games give him the opportunity to make this year the most prolific of his career. The breakthrough against Salernitana, in fact, allowed him to equal the record of seasonal goals (5), scored in the 2018/2019 season with the Inter shirt. With six games to go, he has the opportunity to surpass himself and make his stay in the capital one of the best choices since he put on a pair of boots. Meanwhile, while waiting to understand what the future of many players and the team will be, Tudor can still count on one certainty: the one he wears the number 5 on his shoulders.
