The mainstream Italian newspapers weren’t impressed with several Lazio players following their disappointing draw with Como.
The Biancocelesti were celebrating the club’s 125th birthday, so their faithful supporters flocked to the Stadio Olimpico expecting Marco Baroni’s men to mark the occasion with a routing win over Cesc Fabregas’ men. However, their underwhelming streak continued, as Como pegged them back by coming away with a well-deserved point.
Boulaye Dia scored the opener for Lazio, thus earning himself decent grades (6.5/10). However, it was Ivan Provedel who earned the highest mark on a couple of accounts (7/10) for denying the visitors on several occasions, especially in the early going.
On the contrary, Loum Tchaouna received the lowest ratings (between 4 and 5/10) after getting himself sent off for two needless challenges which portrayed his inexperience. The Frenchman’s dismissal eventually allowed Como to snatch the equalizer through Patrick Cutrone.
Aside from Tchaouna, several Lazio stars got low ratings for their disappointing outings, including Manuel Lazzari who was hauled off at the hour mark, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru who played in an unusual role on the wings and Gustav Isaksen. So here are the ratings from some of the most prominent Italian newspapers as published by La Lazio Siamo Noi.
