Luis Alberto Claims the Derby Win Is More Important for Lazio

DBasia.news – Luis Alberto admits the Roma derby this time is more important for Lazio. The midfielder contributed two goals in the hosts’ 3-0 win over the Giallorossi.

Luis Alberto admitted the Rome derby which took place on Friday (15/01) evening local time was a little more important than usual for Lazio after he contributed two goals in his team’s 3-0 win.

The Aquile dominated the Derby della Capitale, winning through a Luis Alberto brace and Ciro Immobile and Giallorossi’s opener registering just one golden opportunity in the 85th minute.

“This season is a little more important than usual because our form was not as good in Serie A as we wanted,” he said via Sky Sport Italia.

“The last three or so games we were better, we improved tremendously, and we showed that in the derby. We’ve shown a winning mentality and we want to keep this momentum going.

 “Sometimes we can play better or worse, but the most important thing is to win. We can’t lose concentration against smaller clubs because that’s where we drop points and need to do better. We can’t do that in Serie A.”

The playmaker joked on his Instagram yesterday that the plan was to feed Immobile to score a goal, has the plan changed?

“I always want to help the team to win and do it the best I can, whether by scoring goals or assists.”
