From bet to starter and cornerstone for the future, it was a short step for Christos Mandaswho took the door of the Lazio and now he wants to hold onto it. Not bad for someone who arrived in the capital at the end of August as a semi-unknown to take on the role of third goalkeeper. A winning intuition that of the director Angelo Fabiani, who took him from OFI Crete for just 1.3 million. It goes without saying that the value of the young Greek goalkeeper has grown exponentially. So much so that now in the Formello area they intend to lock it up as soon as possible. Extension and related salary adjustment well deserved for those who have proven themselves to be a guarantee of reliability in the field.
Mandas, Sarri and the derby
In the winter months he had displaced the more experienced Sepe from the role of twelfth. So much so that Sarri started him in the derby in January Italian Cup against the Rome. A very delicate match that ended with a 1-0 victory for the Biancoceleste also thanks to Mandas’ saves. Even with the arrival of Tudor things haven’t changed on the bench. Provedel’s injury opened the door to Lazio and the Greek responded, collecting 4 clean sheets in 8 appearances. In short, there are also his big hands in the Lazio team’s rise in the standings, which now aims to gain the pass for theEuropa League. Meanwhile, in the next few days Lotito is preparing to lock down Mandas with the renewal until 2029.
