Lazio Centre-Back Leite: I Want to Make My Own Path in Serie A; I Am Ready for My Debut

Lazio new signing and centre-back Diogo Leite said at his unveiling press conference that he is ready for his debut and to help the team.

Leite said: "I am very happy to play for Lazio. I thank the club for its trust in me, and I cannot wait to make my debut and help the team. I have been patient, but I wanted a club that believes in me. I had to choose a team that placed its trust in me, and Lazio fits those characteristics. Right now, I am focused on the present and my time at Lazio. I want to repay all of this through my efforts on the pitch."

The centre-back, whose contract with Union Berlin had previously expired, continued: "We must think about winning every time we step onto the pitch, and then we can look at the overall situation later. The club deserves this, and that is what I want to do. Serie A is highly competitive, and playing for a club like Lazio is a responsibility. I will always be ready, I like being a leader, and I also want to give everything I have on the pitch."

Leite said: "I am ready to play, and the final decision will be made by the head coach. I feel very good now, and I believe I will adapt quickly. I will give everything for this shirt. Helping the team achieve its goals also means achieving my personal goals. What I want to do now is to make my own path in Serie A."
