Lazio manager Marco Baroni has explained the reason behind his decision to substitute Fisayo Dele-Bashiru after the break in the club’s 2-0 loss to AS Roma on Sunday.
The Biancolesti conceded two goals in the opening 18 minutes of the encounter.
Dele-Bashiru was named in the starting line-up after impressing in Lazio’s last game of 2024 against Atalanta.
The Nigeria international however fell short this time around failing to replicate his performance from the previous game.

The midfielder was replaced after the break by Senegal international Boulaye Dia.
“The club and director are looking around, but we are also at the same time trying to improve the players we have,” Baroni told DAZN.
” Dele-Bashiru is still learning the position and how to control the ball between the lines. We are also missing Matias Vecino for a long time, but that must not be an alibi.
“As I said, our tactical identity is the most important thing and I saw that in the second half.”
