PRESS REVIEW – One last gift before saying goodbye. This is the request that the Lazio do Felipe Anderson. One last joy before hugging him, saying goodbye and reluctantly letting him leave for Palmeiras. Sunday’s match will be the last great challenge of his Rome adventure for the number 7, at San Siro against Inter the Biancoceleste team wants to come away with at least one point and to do so they will have to rely on the bête noire of the Nerazzurri. ‘Pipe’ himself has shown over the years that he has a certain feeling for scoring goals when he plays against the Milanese. There are eight of themas reported by Il Corriere della Sera, goals scored in total and it was precisely at the Scala del Calcio that in 2014 he gave his first sensational performance, scoring a double. Rarely in front of Inter, Felipe held back, not even when the farewell – as in this case – seemed to be a done deal. It was May 2018 when Lazio faced Spalletti’s team at the Olimpico to compete for access to the Champions League. Anderson took the field with the knowledge that he would not have played that competition, yet he sowed panic in the opponent’s rearguard, also finding the splendid goal of the momentary 2-1. In the end it wasn’t enough. Inter equalized the score with Icardi and in the end went ahead with Vecino, ruining Felipe’s farewell evening. Today, however, the Brazilian hopes that things can go differently. Once back in the capital he gave himself the chance to try again, in the hope that this time he will be able to greet his people with a big smile.
