He was missed terribly Mattia Zaccagni in Tuesday evening’s match in the Italian Cup against Juventus. He who had hurt himself in the first leg due to a clash with Gatti at the start of the match. A bad ankle sprain which effectively kept him out for almost a month. From Juventus to the day-after with Juve, Tudor was able to work with Zaccagni again yesterday. The former Verona player has finally returned to the group and can represent a very important weapon for the end of the season.
An extra option on the flanks
Someone like Zaccagni would have been useful in the lane with Juve. Especially after the knockout of Felipe Anderson, who came out battered after an hour of play due to a bad injury to the big toe of his right foot. Against the Bianconeri, Tudor featured Hysaj as a starter for the first time, also given Lazzari’s muscle injury. With the return of Zaccagni, Lazio finds a man capable of jumping man and will be fundamental for the last five matchdays. The Biancocelesti, despite the 13 defeats in the championship, are incredibly still in the running for the Champions League and Zac can make a fundamental contribution.
The future belongs to Zaccagni
Entering Europe again is the minimum objective between now and the end of the season. Then, in the summer, it will be revolution. A revolution which, however, will not concern Zaccagni, given that the renewal until 2029 arrived a few days ago. An important signing, a big contract worth over 3 million net plus bonuses which certifies the centrality of the former Verona player in the Biancoceleste project. With Tudor he discovered himself as a full-back, his ability to play one-on-one can make the difference in the Croatian coach’s football. That after almost a month he was finally able to find Zaccagni again.
