Provstgaard: ‘Lazio spirit something I never experienced, happy with Gattuso’

Provstgaard: ‘Lazio spirit something I never experienced, happy with Gattuso’ Oliver Provstgaard hails Gennaro Gattuso for transforming Lazio after their 3-0 victory away to Juventus . ‘There is a spirit that I never experienced before in football.’ It was a remarkable evening at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin, as the Biancocelesti had not won here in Serie A since October 2017. They dominated the proceedings thanks to an Oliver Provstgaard glancing header on a corner, the Gustav Isaksen angled drive, and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru starting a run from inside his own half to complete the 3-0 rout in the final minute.

I love football, so I like to have a smile on my face when I’m playing,” Provstgaard told DAZN Italia. The defender didn’t have much playing time in his first season, but has flourished under Gennaro Gattuso.

Gattuso is a big part of that, he is a coach who helped me so much, he knows my quality and also what I need to improve every day. “I am very happy that he came here, there is a spirit in the training ground and on the field now that I never experienced before in football,” added Provstgaard.

If some might’ve suggested their strong start was a fluke, beating Juventus 3-0 in Turin is not a result that can be ignored.
