Former Lazio and Juventus coach Dino Zoff spoke ahead of Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final against Lazio and Juventus, sure that the Aquile won’t consider themselves weaker to Juventus.

Lazio meet Juventus in the Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico, with the Bianconeri looking for the second piece of silverware of a possible treble and the Aquile aiming for a trophy to hang at the end of their season.

Although Juventus have been touted as overwhelming favourites, Zoff believes that Lazio will come into the game with that inferiority complex and expects an open game with both teams going for it.

“I expect a good game, with both teams playing attacking football,” Zoff said in radio broadcast I Laziali Sono Qua.

“I hear many say Juventus will be the favourites but I expect Lazio to not simply accept that status of underdog.

“I believe individual players can make the difference but if Lazio can face Juventus toe-to-toe for 90 minutes, then they can do it.

“The coach [Stefano Pioli] has brought the best out of an already good squad, which was particularly highlighted in season of Felipe Anderson.”
