Lazio coach Marco Baroni has highlighted the steady progress of Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, underscoring his growing impact in the team. Baroni expressed his admiration for the Super Eagles star after his crucial performance in Lazio’s 1-1 draw against Atalanta on Saturday, during which Dele-Bashiru netted his second goal of the Serie A season. The midfielder’s contributions have not gone unnoticed, with Baroni praising his commitment and growth as a key figure in the squad.

“Dele is improving every day,” Baroni said, reflecting on the player’s development with clear satisfaction. While acknowledging areas for improvement, particularly in the quality of his passing, Baroni emphasized the physical effectiveness that Dele-Bashiru brings to the pitch. His relentless energy and strong presence have been instrumental, particularly in high-stakes matches, such as those in the Europa League, where he has also featured prominently this season. These traits have set him apart as a rising star in Lazio’s lineup, earning him increasing responsibilities within the team.

As Lazio continues to push for a strong finish in Serie A, currently sitting in fourth place, Dele-Bashiru’s form and progress could play a vital role in their campaign. The club’s position reflects their ambition, and with players like Dele-Bashiru steadily refining their skills, the team is poised to challenge for higher achievements. Baroni’s faith in the midfielder’s potential underscores his confidence in the collective growth of the squad, fueled by individual contributions like those of Dele-Bashiru.
