Lazio Vs Lisbon

Entering the final matchday Europa
League group stage, Lazio still in the eye of
a needle to get through to the round of 32
second caste competition as the European
mainland. This was followed in Group D
competition is very tight. To get away
from the group stage, Lazio must win over
strong teams from Portugal, Sporting
Lisbon, at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome,
Thursday (15/12) morning. It's so tough
game for Lazio. They are on the order of
the standings and despite winning three
still have to compete with Vaslui who are
in second position with the same number
of points; six! Lisbon as a guest team likely
will not be too hard after assuring himself
has qualified for the round of 32. They
topped Group D standings with 12 points.
On the basis of these, Lazio coach Edy
Reja his guests predict it will come down
with a second tier player. But that does
not mean that Lazio will make the job
easier.
"Sporting will go down with a lot of
reserve players on the field. That is
because to avoid their top players to
injury. But the reserve players will do their
best because they want to shine," said Reja
ugi.it reported on Tuesday (13/12).
Pertandigan Reja hopes his team win this
game while looking at the results later
Vaslui. "The only way to qualify is to win
the game. We do not expect anything
from anyone," he said. Lazio regained its
confidence after the win over Lecce in
Serie A last match Italy. Miroslav Klose
then scored late. Aging star from Germany
was expected to re-appear with a
maximum capacity to give victory to
Lazio. Unfortunately the host was
reinforced by the main goalkeeper
Federico Marchetti confirmed injured and is
predicted to be out until early 2012. It's so
great loss because goalkeeper Marchetti is
a pretty tough and almost akin to Gianluigi
Buffon. Lisbon will be without several
experienced players in Serie A as striker
Valeri Bozhinov who had defended Lecce,
Fiorentina, Juventus and Parma. Bulgarian
striker was once one team with one
member of the Lazio squad, Cristian
Ledesma. Lisbon defender Oguchi Onyewu
also never felt the atmosphere of Serie A
AC Milan as a player in the 2009 season.
But unfortunately the defender from the
United States is experiencing a serious knee
injury until not even played Milan in Serie
A. (Tribunnews.com / cen)
