Foggia dreaming of Milan upset


Lazio winger Pasquale Foggia is desperate to start his capital stint with a win at Milan – the team that own him.

The former Under-21 international joined the Biancocelesti on loan after spending last season at Ascoli and impressed Coach Delio Rossi in the recent friendly against Anderlecht.

“I dream of winning at San Siro, although I understand it won’t be easy,” said the creative midfielder.

“I know that Milan are a strong side, with many top-level players, but we will go on to the pitch to do our best.”

Although it seemed that Foggia could have remained at Milan this term, he admits he was excited by the possibility of joining Lazio for the campaign.

“This transfer was very important for me, I wanted to stay in Italy and Lazio represented my first choice,” noted the 23-year-old.

“Here I will have a chance to play more games. Milan are a great club but I know I wouldn’t have been handed much playing time there.

“I am aware there are many players competing for a spot in the starting line-up, but if we all play well that can only be an advantage for the team.”

The Biancocelesti will start the term with an 11-point deduction following Calciopoli, but Foggia is remaining optimistic.

“This will be a difficult season, there are no doubts about that, but we are a young side that wants to do well,” continued Foggia.

”There is an excellent group here and Rossi is a good boss. We are all aware that our supporters expect a lot from us, but that only motivates us more.

”I personally want to contribute to Lazio’s championship, hopefully scoring some goals. The derby with Roma? They’ve told me about, I don’t think anything else needs to be said…”

Meanwhile, Massimo Mutarelli’s fitness is improving even if he’s unlikely to be available for the Week 1 clash.
