DBasia.news – Bayern Munich Sporting Director, Hasan Salihamidzic commented on the Champions League top 16 draw against Lazio. The former Juventus player asked Bayern not to underestimate Simone Inzaghi’s team.
Lazio will first host at the Stadio Olimpico on February 24, 2021 at 03.00 WIB. Lazio has the status of a non-seeded team against the defending champions who won the treble winners last season.
Salihamidzic knows quite well the culture of playing football in Italy. No doubt he can tell Bayern not to take Lazio lightly.
“They are the opponents we learned during the group stage against Borussia Dortmund,” said the man who is often called Brazzo, as quoted from Tuttomercatoweb.
“Attention, Lazio are an uncomfortable opponent, like all Italian teams. But we will definitely prepare well for the double header. It’s always nice to go to Rome.”
Lazio midfielder, Luis Alberto has also made a firm statement. Lazio, who qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in 20 years, are unafraid against Robert Lewandowski and colleagues.
“A tricky draw. We will fight the defending champion. But without fear and always holding our heads high!” said the former Liverpool player.
