Libor Kozak - The Much Needed Striker For Lazio

Lazio supporters should have been worried by the end of the winter transfer window, as Reja did not get a cover for Floccari and this type of player seemed to be urgently needed. OK, Lotito brought Sculli, but he will be on the place of Zarate, he is not the real goalgetter, needed by the Laziali in their campaign for an European spot (the least). 

But in January a young central forward was introduced to the tema on a more regular basis, also thanks to the injuries of Sergio Floccari. He is 1.93m tall and very slim and at first sight you should think that he will be more agile to playing Lurch from the Addams family, not playing football. But this 21-year-old boy put on his scoring shoes and started to do things, not much expected by the experts. 

It is only natural that he poses a threat in the air, one thing that Lazio could not find in years, but he also plays good with both feet, passing well, moving at sufficient speed and scoring important goals. Reja has really put faith in this lad as he was the chosen to place a late penalty against Sampdoria when the results was 0-0... The Czech stricker, who came at Lazio from the 2nd level of the Czech championship, has really developped under the guidance of the Slovenian tactician, so watch out for him, especially when the Biancocelesti play against a moderate side.
