Ex Chelsea & Barcelona Veteran To Start For Lazio In Serie A Clash Vs Inter Milan

Pedro will start in attack for Lazio in this evening’s Serie A match against Inter Milan.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Spaniard will partner Tijani Noslin in attack.

Pedro has been in outstanding form in recent weeks.

The former Barcelona, Chelsea, and Roma forward did not begin this season as a regular starter under Marco Baroni.

And considering that Pedro is 37 years of age, there was a sense that perhaps this was the season when he would be phased out of the team.

But Pedro gradually won the trust of his coach Baroni.

Therefore, the Spaniard has earned his place in the team. He has been a regular both in the starting eleven and as a substitute.

Pedro’s spectacular goal against Ajax in the Europa League only underlined the level he’s still playing at.
