Lazio's Sarri praises Dele-Bashiru: 'A threat to any defence'

The Italian tactician spoke after the Super Eagles midfielder impressed in Lazio’s Coppa Italia semifinal first leg against Atalanta on Wednesday. 

Dele-Bashiru scored as Lazio secured a 2–2 draw at the Stadio Olimpico and the former Chelsea boss lauds the Nigeria international’s blistering pace but said he must maintain consistency to keep improving.

“Dele-Bashiru can cause problems for anyone, when he manages to launch himself forward he can reach speeds of 36 km/h,” Sarri told Pazzi Di Fanta.

“Taylor, on the other hand, has different characteristics, he’s a setter and has less pace.

“To have more consistency we need to have a group of attackers who would guarantee us more goals.”
