Gattuso’s Lazio Top Serie A After Udinese Comeback as Coach Warns Against Complacency
New signings have already delivered decisive moments, showing a tactical reset is taking hold despite low attendance and the lingering pain of the Mantova cup loss.
Overview
- Lazio won 2-1 at Udinese, which on Monday produced a second-half comeback sealed by Davide Frattesi and new arrival Albert Gudmundsson.
- The victory completed three straight Serie A wins and left Lazio level at the top of the table with nine points from three games.
- Gattuso said he cannot enjoy the hot start because he fears complacency and stressed that the team has undergone a deliberate tactical overhaul away from last season’s 4-3-3.
- The coach publicly credited president Claudio Lotito and sporting director Angelo Fabiani for the summer deals and highlighted Frattesi’s loan and Gudmundsson’s quick impact as proof of the transfer approach.
- Off the field, season-ticket sales have plunged, crowds at the Stadio Olimpico are sparse because of protests, and the August Coppa Italia shock loss to Mantova still casts a shadow that could shape how durable the revival proves.
