Lazio Win Three Straight to Reach Top Spot, Gattuso: We Still Need to Keep Working Hard

Lazio defeated Udinese 2-1 away from home in the third round of Serie A, moving level at the top of the league table with Inter Milan and Roma. After the match, Gattuso spoke to the media.

Gattuso said: "I have to praise these lads, but we still need to keep working hard. The team showed mentality and determination. We started over and tried to do something different, but it has not been easy. However, we have achieved nothing yet. After suffering a heavy defeat in the Coppa Italia, the team responded very well. We must continue like this and focus on one match at a time."

Speaking about the transfer market, Gattuso said: "Despite the great difficulties, we completed signings that we originally did not think we could make. I want to thank him and Fabiani, as they put in a lot of work to bring these new players in." Discussing the upcoming match against Milan, he said: "When I was a child, I remember taking part in the parade after Steaua Bucharest with my father. For me, that has always been a source of pride and a dream that lasted 12 years. At this moment, those feelings and happiness will never be forgotten, but I am doing another job now, and on Sunday I hope to take points from the team I love."
