Sun Dec 08 19:27:53 UTC 2024: ## Lazio Midfielder Dele-Bashiru Ready for Napoli Test, Says Coach Baroni

**Naples, Italy** – Lazio coach Marco Baroni has emphasized the importance of focus for midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru ahead of tonight’s Serie A clash against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Dele-Bashiru, stepping in for the suspended Nicolò Rovella and injured Matias Vecino, will face a challenging task against Napoli’s fluid attack.

“He needs to keep his mind switched on,” Baroni told DAZN, highlighting the danger of momentary lapses against a team of Napoli’s caliber. While Lazio recently defeated Napoli 3-1 in the Coppa Italia, tonight’s match presents a different challenge with a rotated Napoli lineup aiming to reclaim the Serie A top spot from Atalanta.

Baroni acknowledged Napoli’s strength but emphasized Lazio’s own strong form, having won 12 of their last 15 competitive matches. He stressed the importance of maintaining their attacking identity despite the changes in personnel. The return of Nuno Tavares from injury also provides a boost to Lazio’s attacking capabilities. Kick-off is at 19.45 GMT.
