The Lazio manager Vladimir Petkovic has said that the team should be cultivating a winning mentality in order to be successful in terms of winning trophies once again. The Lazio team of the early 21st century was hugely successful under the reign of Sven Goran Eriksson.
However, it has fallen under troubled times of late only to be revived in the recent seasons. The club has been challenging for a Champions league spot in the last few seasons, while they are one of the challenges for the title this time around. Lazio recently managed a comfortable 3-0 win over Pescara, which has put them in the top of the table.
The Lazio manager has said that the team should be looking at repeating this score in every week in order to be able to win the league this season. Napoli and Juventus are by far the favourites for the title this season, but outsiders in the form of Lazio and Inter Milan. The former Bayern Munich striker Miroslav Klose was an inspirational figure in the win after he helped himself to 2 goals. The manager also outlined the importance of a player like Miroslav Klose to the team. Lazio are currently in the third position with 15 points on the board. They trail the leaders Juventus and Napoli by four points.
“This Lazio must go far, but right now it is better to focus on improving certain things. Our objective is victory. We always want to win. The first phase of the season was very important and we started positively. Now we have two weeks to work with the squad, minus the internationals, and try to recoup some energy. We want to carry on this winning mentality. Great champions like Miroslav Klose are necessary for a team that has ambition," said the Lazio manager.
