Former coach Angelo Alessio discussed the growth of Lazio striker Ciro Immobile in an interview with Italian radio broadcaster TMW Radio earlier today, as reported by La Lazio Siamo Noi.
Ciro often did extra work with me at the end of training, and what I can say is that he had and has important technical and metabolic qualities.
At the beginning he was approached by the big teams, and Juventus decided to give him up. But he made an important path after coming back from abroad, and he also grew up humanly, Immobile the man and not only the footballer.
He has also refined his qualities better thanks to his experience and having often scored double figures. He proves his value and I hope he will continue to do so, also for our national team.
The 30-year-old Immobile, who is contracted to the Biancocelesti until 2025, has made 10 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 789 minutes.
In that time, he has scored nine goals and provided two assists. The Italian forward suffered a frustrating battle with Covid-19, that forced him to miss two Champions League games and one league fixture, but he has scored in every game since his return.
