Lazio coach Tudor delighted defeating Verona: Zaccagni is back!

Lazio coach Igor Tudor was left delighted with their 1-0 win against Verona.

Mattia Zaccagni jumped from the bench to hit the winner.

We are on the right track, we need to get as many points as possible and see where we are at the end of the season," Tudor told Sky Italia.

You can only plan so much, we have to take it one game at a time. We must prepare the next match against Monza, but this is a huge victory, as we prepared it like a cup final and showed the right mentality.

It was a very, very dangerous match, because Verona were trailing Atalanta 2-0 and managed to equalise 2-2, so they can never be counted out. I really feel this as the best win of them all, as I felt we had to prepare to the max. Hellas lost intensity in the second half and our quality emerged.

If you are not careful on the counter-attack or set plays, they can score at any moment and then it becomes very, very difficult to get back on track. The lads were concentrated 100 per cent.

Zaccagni is back and we all know how important he is for the team. Everyone is training hard, eager to work, also enjoying their football. I congratulated the lads the other day, telling them it is a pleasure to coach them."
