A sixth place finish obtained at the end of the regular season and two quarters achieved, in the Italian Cup and on the way to the Italian title. There Lazio female, largely renewed in the summer, a few weeks ago concluded another generally positive year.
THE BUDGET – “Changing so much – he begins Valentina Siclari – for a team that makes tactics and set balls its strong point is extremely complicated, because it takes time for the new girls to assimilate all the coach’s schemes, but we still managed to reach both the Cup Final Eight and the playoffs . For this reason I think we can consider ourselves satisfied, even if we can and must always do better.” Daniele Chilelli’s main roster, however, suffered several defections over the course of the months, which partly conditioned its progress in both competitions: “It was a long and difficult season – states the native of Reggio Calabria -. Unfortunately, there are few matches in which we were at full strength and all together at 100% form, but we always gave our best in every match.”
UNIVERSAL – Siclari herself, despite the injury suffered in the second phase of the regular season, was – as usual – one of those players who carried Lazio on her shoulders with excellent performances: “As far as I’m concerned – explains the ex Salinis – I try to improve race after race, season after season. Even today I learn many new things and try to put them into practice.” The number 5 of the Eagles, in fact, has transformed into a universal player: “When I arrived here I was the pivot, this year I also worked as the central defender. I like to be useful to the team by trying to make the best of what is missing”, concludes the Calabrian.
