Lazio, birthday nightmare: After Freedom Square, the feast also ruined Olimpico

ROME - "And you say that your dreams are small thing ... They are processed in the morning paper ...." One hundred and eleven years of joys and disappointments. One hundred and eleven years of tears and passion. A defeat was predictable, though no one expected it to lose. Perhaps only Olympia that had landed inside the visitors area before the race.

A sign that the Romans would Greetings interpreted in two ways: it could be considered a sign of aggressiveness (invasion of the territory an "enemy") or to yield to the opponent. With hindsight, would override the latter. GROUPINGS - Reja confirms the information the day before, just replacing the suspended Dias.

De Canio but melts only at the last doubts: in defense Tomovic play quarterback, and Gustavo Fabiano joins instead of Donati in midfield Munari recovers, Bertolacci square behind you and Ofer Jeda (with trays that sits on the bench). THE KEY - Lecce who had never won away in the league, nor was it ever in its past history at the Olimpico against Lazio.

The law of large numbers and statistics tells us that all the zeros of the world sooner or later are bound to grow, to grow up and become "one". De Canio's team came from the heavy defeat in the derby with Bari A derby that usually do not play every year (missing in Serie A since 2001), so losing it means maximum depression.

In short, the time was the lowest in recent history of Salento, which had had to flee ahead of time to Rome to escape persecution of supporters. The grit that saves them from pulling out at the Olimpico as possible "lynching" to the right of return and list them in history books. The reaction to the derby defeat by Lecce, and the laxity of Lazio at the end make the difference.

Lazio - as in Genoa, Lazio wears two masks: one with the expression of fear, the other with the face of the determination, even if short-lived. In the first half missing all the conviction necessary to bring home the three points. Lazio suffered too much to the initiative of Lecce and only become dangerous to the half hour with a penalty of Hernanes, which do not arrive on time or Banner or Biava.

The merger would not be the best of days, as evidenced by the blunders conclusive (an understatement to say the "butts") of Hernanes (yes, him) and Mauri. Muslera takes at least three crucial saves, before being shot on the goal daring Jeda. The shooting is another story: Mauri equalized now accounts (offside) on a free-kick from Ledesma, then just simply not conducive Zarate (miracle of Rosati).

Lazio is another but continues to live in front of firing and rollovers (Muslera crashes to the ground a conclusion dangerous Grossmuller). It is not the day Hernanes. Reja understand and put Mark Bresciano, thus dropping to 4-3-1-2. The results coming from Milan and Catania increase the burden of pressure on Lazio, who began to flounder.

Zarate is almost the joker from the corner (almost like Maradona or Veron), then on the counterattack Lecce still passes through the combination Grossumuller-Vives. Lazio suffer too much on tipping face. The entrance to the field of Kozak (causing transition to the 4-3-3) does not change things.

THE LECCE - News coming from the Salento Lecce envisaged a buttoned with the 4-4-1-1. Instead De Canio did not reject a gamble, deploying an offensive formation, and especially aggressive. Ofer smanaccia Brocchi, Mesbah hampers Zarate, and lock on Lichtsteiner Grossmuller ago. Overall, more Lecce attacks as evidenced by the account of the corner at half-time: 9-5.

Without Ofer, forced out through injury, the Salento not lose the impact force: just pressing the top of the newly-joined forces Corvia Muslera reckless outside the exit, then head bursts Banner rejecting a "bell" of Bertolacci, sending the ball at the feet of Jeda: Brazilian checks from outside the box and download the right ball, before bagging, hit the post and the back of Muslera.

In the second half is to make the game against Lazio, Lecce but never gives up on offense. So much so that the tip of a dangerous offensive action against Lazio, Vives puts in half, Raven is missing the hook and puts Muslera Grossmuller undisturbed. A 7 'by the end of Lecce wasted an incredible opportunity to close the match, neither Corvia (Biava save on the line), or Munari (street), nor Jeda (incarta is the output of sudden Muslera), nor Grossmuller ( half inverted) manage to beat a network.
