Former footballer Paolo Di Canio, who played for AC Milan and Juventus, shared his opinion about the performance level of Lazio players. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Recently, Lazio lost 0-1 to Roma in the capital derby. Many local media outlets highlighted Nuno Tavares' mistake, which resulted in a goal being scored against the team.
According to Di Canio, if that mistake had not happened, the derby would have ended in a draw. He also said that Tavares lacks football intelligence.
The player should have either cleared the ball far away or passed it. If he had full football intelligence, Arsenal would not have sold him for 4 million euros, Di Canio said.
Another player, Matteo Guendouzi, received a red card for insulting the referee after the match. Although Di Canio acknowledged that he is recognized as a leader among teammates and fans, he said he never understood this.
Guendouzi has passion, but he should have avoided the red card. After the match, Roma is in fourth place with 9 points, while Lazio is in tenth place with 3 points.
