Lazio captain Zaccagni: ‘With our fans, maybe we don’t concede’Mattia Zaccagni believes Lazio are buying into Gennaro Gattuso’s methods, even if the 2-2 draw with Milan still stings.The Biancocelesti captain spoke to DAZN, with quotes via AlfredoPedulla.com, at the Stadio Olimpico after his side had surrendered a two-goal half-time lead, with Diego Moreira scoring twice from the bench to rescue a point for the Rossoneri.“We know the coach from the inside and you all know him from the outside,” Zaccagni said. “He is a person who makes you feel good and we try to take onto the pitch what he asks of us.”ROME, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 12: Mattia Zaccagni of SS Lazio competes for the ball with Mario Gila of AC Milan during the Serie A match between SS Lazio and AC Milan at Stadio Olimpico on September 12, 2026 in Rome, Italy.

In the first half we played football of the highest level, we had a lot of chances to kill it off. In the second half we dropped too deep, we were on our last legs, but we are happy, even if it is logical that it hurts.”
