Klose and Cissé, old friends for Lazio

Djibril Cissé

It is no longer the team that triumphed in Italy and Europe in the late nineties with Vieri, Salas, Crespo, Nedved or Nesta. With Cragnotti as president and trained by Eriksson, the millions that the company devoted to the Italian club Cirio gave way to the austerity of the years ahead. In a league and a Cup Winners Cup, the last to be played in that final against Mallorca, moved to a stage where the objectives were more modest. But last season, the team returned to Rome to see closely the higher echelons of the Italian table. To continue on these paths, the set of Edoardo Reja is one of the most moving in this summer market. Among his signings, two old friends for the front: the German and French Klose Cissé.

Both Mauro Zarate form with the attack of the Laziale, but the Argentine could leave if a team reaches the high claims of the Italian club for his transfer: 22 million euros. If so, Lazio would cover the front with two players without projection Zárate, but with more football behind him. Both made ​​their debut in calcium, so that adaptation is still unknown. Klose, 33, goes free after failing to renew contract with Bayern Munich and accept other offers such as Valencia. Meanwhile, Cisse has 29 springs and arrives at Rome's Olympic after paying 5.2 million for his new club Panathinaikos.

Miroslav Klose, who thus leaving Germany for the first time after playing in Kaiserslautern, Werder Bremen and Bayern, was in the Bavarian club last season behind Mario Gomez Olic first and then in the preferences of his coach. However, in the German Müller Özil and it is a permanent fixture, which continues to show his eye for goal remains. Second top scorer in World Cup history with 14 goals, like his compatriot behind Gerd Müller and Ronaldo, who has 15, Klose has lived his best moments with the Mannschaft.

The path of Djibril Cissé, known both for his play as for his hair, has ups and downs and is marked by the severity of their injuries. Twice he broke his tibia and fibula, the first in 2004 playing for Liverpool, and in 2006 repeated the sad event in a friendly between France and China. In its day was one of the most promising players in his country playing for Auxerre was twice top scorer in the French league and Gerard Houllier took him to Liverpool. However, shortly after Rafa Benitez was dismissed and did not tip too much with the French. His grave injury did the rest to stay at Anfield was not lucky.

He returned to France, this time to Marseille, where he again be a player. After two seasons at the Velodrome returned to the Premier in 2008 to wear the shirt of Sunderland, but again he resisted the British adventure. Looking accepted the proposal of revival to play Panathinaikos in Greece, where the goal was re-signed. With 23 goals and 24 has been top scorer twice in the Greek league, which has decided to Lazio to see in him a good forward to compete in the demanding calcium, since the nightmare of injuries seems to have fallen into oblivion.

Along with good midfielders like the Brazilians Hernanes and Matuzalem, formerly of Zaragoza, international or azzurro Mauri, Lazio looks to keep its new front in the upper part of the Series A and do well in the Champions League, a competition to who qualified after the previous fight for the Champions. A Lazio came to finishing third in 2006 with a team without big names, but which has seen over the last decade his name has disappeared from the showcase of the continent.

Stankevicius, after playing in Seville and Valencia, comes to the Olympics after failing to run the club ché its purchase option to Sampdoria, estimated at three million. Despite the good performance shown by the Lithuanian, the setMestalla is not a priority of its incorporation.
