Matuzalem Ready For Lazio Adventure

Francelino Matuzalem is looking forward to the new season with Lazio and he cannot wait to get started...

The Brazilian knows Serie A well having spent time at Parma, Napoli, Piacenza and Brescia in the past.

He joined Lazio on loan from Real Zaragoza last month for a season with the right to join permanently.

Matuzalem is now looking ahead and is hoping to do well under new coach Delio Rossi.

“Last year was difficult for me because I was out with various injuries,” Matuzalem told Sky Sport Italia.

“It wasn’t easy getting back into things but that’s in the past now. I want to forget about that and look to a good future here at Lazio.”

Amazing

On the boss, he added: “I think Delio Rossi is a great coach, he demands plenty from his players both from a tactical and physical point of view.

“We are all working hard and we hope the effort pays off on the pitch over the coming season.”

The move has clearly fulfilled the player's spiritual wishes, too. He enthused: “Coming back to Italy after so many years is amazing. Rome is a great city and I am so happy to be playing at Lazio.”

Matuzalem struck for Lazio in the 2-0 win over Paok Salonika on Tuesday and he will be hoping his scoring run continues into the season proper.

The Biancocelesti have strengthened the squad significantly this summer as they attempt to climb back up the Serie A table following last term’s unimpressive campaign.

He will be a good replacement for Ledesma,how the things are he would leave us...

Subject: Re: Francelino Matuzalem da Silva Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:50 pm

it's a pity that he hasn't really played musch for us, yet he got injured. i just hope that he could recover soon and show his magical skills as seen in laliga with zaragoza in past seasons...

And now hes injured again according to goal.com, what a pity

Subject: Re: Francelino Matuzalem da Silva Sun Oct 12, 2008 2:49 pm

yep ... a calf problem they say...hope it's nothing serious

Subject: Re: Francelino Matuzalem da Silva Sun Nov 16, 2008 7:11 pm

Anyone know about when he will be fit for play again? Had rather big expectations on him before the season but since he is injured most of the time he havn't got any good chance to proove himself.

Subject: Re: Francelino Matuzalem da Silva Mon Nov 17, 2008 9:11 pm

He is overrated and apparently injury prone.Nothing to count on. For Ledesma replacement we must look elsewhere...

hes not injured anymore....getting in form at the moment. I think we will see him against Torino....he has to shine to get back on the field.

in the current midfield position I don't think it will be hard for him to shine :)

Can't wait to see him in action again.. he has played 2 times in Serie A this season, both were against Milan, and both lost with 3 goals difference.. but it doesn't mean that he played badly... What could he do? Milan was still our bogey team...

He played against Cagliari in the first round as well and also a short entry against Sampdoria last week.

Lazio have option on Matuzalem:

http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2009/03/06/1141938/lazio-have-option-to-buy-matuzalem-agent

We all knew that, right? 8 million or something. But the key of this statement is that the loan + option was a strategic plan by Lotito.

Exactly what I thought. Lotito knew Matu was a great player but brought him on loan to see if he fits in with the team, stays fit and plays well. Crucially, that option means nothing now. Francy pants wants to stay with us now and the team he is contracted to (Real Zaragoza) are struggling to get promoted back to the first division.

Now, I don't believe Matu has any intention of going back there, neither do I believe Real want to pay his wage, especially if they fail to get promoted. I reckon Lotito will end up buying out Matuzalem's contract rather than paying the full 8 million. Watch this space...

Subject: Re: Francelino Matuzalem da Silva Sat Mar 07, 2009 3:01 pm

I want to see more of Matu. I mean he is great now but I want to see few more matches of his magic.
I don't think that Lotito will pay them 8 milion euros. He will bargain for less.

Subject: Re: Francelino Matuzalem da Silva Sat Mar 07, 2009 6:13 pm

He is a good player but he gets injured often and Zaragoza want too much money for him ..

Guest

"Matu" will be a main man at this moment.. If he keeps up the fantastic display from the Juve match then I think we shall sign him on permenent contract..

Matuzalem is banned for 3 games! Suspect

Quote :: Serie A: Heavy bans imposed
Tuesday 14 April, 2009
Diego Lopez and Felipe Melo have been handed big bans for their post Fiorentina-Cagliari brawl and there are post-Rome derby repercussions.

Lopez and Melo exchanged blows in the tunnel after the final whistle of Fiorentina's 2-1 win over Cagliari on Saturday.

Sports judge Giampaolo Tosel found them both guilty of: “hitting an opponent in the face in the dressing room,” and a five-game ban has been imposed on the two.

Tosel also reacted harshly against Lazio midfielder Francelino Matuzalem and Roma defender Philippe Mexes, who were dismissed for a spat in the 75th minute of the Derby della Capitale.

The two men have been suspended for three games, while Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti is banned for a game for protests at referee Emidio Morganti and Lazio team manager Igli Tare is banned until April 20 for provoking Spalletti.

Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has been let off for his protests during the win over Chievo while Walter Zenga has been fined £5,000 for his angry words during Torino-Catania.
