Lazio beats Flaminia 6-0 as Gattuso urges squad reinforcement

Lazio's pre‑season friendly against Serie D side Flaminia Civita Castellana ended in a 6‑0 victory. Goals came from Cancellieri, Dele‑Bashiru and Bordon in the first half, and Ratkov, Rovella and a Mattia Zaccagni penalty in the second. Gennaro Gattuso praised the team's work but said, “We are missing something and we know it. Hopefully we will be able to complete the squad.” He also warned that the side might have deserved a red card for overly aggressive fouls. Injuries were limited to a knee complaint for Nuno Tavares and a few minor strains. New signings Alfonso Pedraza and Danilho Doekhi featured, while the club is actively pursuing a striker, notably a loan move for Armando Broja from Burnley. Youth prospects such as Ricardo Bordon were also highlighted as part of Lazio's broader strategy to balance immediate squad needs with long‑term development.
