DBasia.news – Lazio started his journey in 2018-2019 Europa League by defeating Cyprus League team, Apollon Limassol with a 2-1 score. Luis Alberto scored the goal for I Biancocelesti at 14′ and Ciro Immobile created another at 84′. While Apollon responded with one goal from Emilio Jose Zelaya at 88′.
In this match, Felipe Caicedo has successfully silenced the recent critics. By his beautiful back-hell, he assisted to Luis Alberto’s goal. Caicedo also has some opportunities to score the goal.
“As for Caicedo, I can say that I never had any doubts: he is a professional who works hard – being behind Immobile is not easy and I am satisfied,” Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi revealed.
After the match, Simone felt happy with this positive result, considering that Lazio are listed in a difficult group. Two rivals in Group H can’t be underestimated. There are also last season’s finalist, Marseille and Germany Bundesliga team, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frankfurt even surprisingly defeated Marseille. “We wanted to begin the group with a victory and we achieved that. It won’t be an easy group, as Eintracht Frankfurt proved themselves a good team, just like Marseille,” Simone said.
However, Simone believed his team could do better against Apollon. He even wanted his team to at least score another goal. It’s proved that Apollon could create another goal. Luckily, the Sofronis Avgousti squad didn’t balance the situation.
“I liked the initial approach to the game, although in the second half we could and should have done better. The regret is that we didn’t score at least one more goal,” said the brother of Bologna coach Pippo Inzaghi.
