Lichtsteiner, "Champions? Lazio can do it "

ROME, Feb. 16 - "Of course we believe we can reach the Champions League goal. We have a good team with many players of value and is confident that we can go in Europe that counts. " After the success in that of Brescia, Stephan Lichtsteiner has no doubt, his Lazio (currently 3 / a in the standings) can really point to the Champions League, despite the skepticism surrounding the formation biancoceleste.

"The most important thing is that there is pessimism in the team - admitted in a press conference, four days after the match against Bari - Then what is going on out we do not care. We have a winning mentality, even in moments of difficulty, which has been lacking in recent years. This year we have already found some obstacles and we always manage to make points.

This is a great progress in terms of mentality. " Thanks also to the arrival of Reja: "I believe so much in him. Since he arrived we had always points - said the Swiss - has created a united team and this is very important. We are certainly more united than we were before. " OBJECTIVE - To bet on an ambitious European goal, but Lazio should try to solve the problems faced by small teams at the Olympic Stadium.

"Since I arrived in the small house we have always made trouble. Against large there are more spaces to make counterattacks. If we can be good at free kicks, then it becomes easier for us to win even against small teams. If you can unlock that type of game with a goal, then everything changes.

" But the formation biancoceleste part by a certainty: the defensive solidity. "Surely our defense is a great weapon - he confessed - but is about everyone, from the goalkeeper to the attacker. Certainly, as I said, the weapon we are missing is to be able to unlock certain games easily.

" In that sense was crucial to the explosion Kozak, four goals in their last six games played. "He's doing very well. It is a tall player who can enable us to score on a cross or a corner. I believe that in perspective will go far. If this continues it can surely become a great. " Meanwhile Sunday comes Bari, Lichtsteiner, and could miss the challenge of a muscle strain.

"It's hard to say now whether I will play - he confessed - why I can still feel some discomfort and muscle is still tired."
