A LITTLE STORY ABOUT VLADIMIR PETKOVIC
I've just read an articel about Lazio coach, Vladimir Petković on lazioland.com. Many things about him that surprise me. Yeah, because he's not a really famous figure in European football. For example, actually he's capable to speak in eight languages fluently! WOW!! He speaks Serbo-Croatian and Bosnian, Italian, French, English, Spanish, German and Russian. Amazing!
Vladimir Petković
was born in Sarajevo on August 15, 1963. He also started his career in football as a player. In early 1980s he began his professional career at FK Sarajevo. In 1987, he emigrated to Swiss and joined FC Chur before he moved to the stronger team, FC Sion. Sion managed a third place finish in the Nationalliga, but
Petković left the club at the end of the season. After leaving Sion,
Petković moved back into the lower tiers, first joining FC
Martigny-Sports before returning to his former Swiss club, Chur, where
he enjoyed a career as a regular goalscoring midfielder.
After retired as player, he worked as a teacher, follow the traces of his parents. But, finally he was in contact with the charity organization Caritas that made him as a volunteer. He worked full-time for five and half year with Caritas. He had a responsibility to take care a group of unemployed young men.

After a few years, he was persuaded to
coach an amateur team during evenings, and slowly football came back
into his life. At the beginning of the
2008–09 season, he was appointed as manager of Young Boys. After taking
charge at the club, he took his Bern side to a second-placed league
finish. A full-time coaching role was never on his mind, but his results
were a bit too good for him not to. Football chose him. At first, he
even forced his football employer to adjust the training-scheme so it
would fit with his hours at Caritas, even when coaching in the highest
league in Switzerland, but when Young Boys was aiming for Champions
League he realized that he didn't have the energy working double shifts.
He said goodbye and promised to be back again in a few years later to
the people at Caritas.
After two more seasons with Young Boys, he was fired after a 1–1 draw against FC Luzern on 7 May 2011, and he became new manager of Turkish side Samsunspor. He resigned from that position in January 2012. On 15 May 2012 he was named the new temporary manager of Sion until the end of the 2011–12 season.
His arrival to Lazio in summer 2012 has debated by many supporters. His capability was doubted. But now, with Lazio he make an impressive performance so far. Unbeatable in UEFA Europa League group stage, finish on the second position in Serie A for half of the season and advance through the quarter finals in Coppa Italia.
Petković has lost only four times in 27 official matches with Lazio. Currently, Lazio have not been beaten in 11 consecutive games (3 in Europa League, 1 in Coppa Italia, and 7 in Serie A). Much of the credit goes to Lazio manager Vladimir Petković.

RUNNER UP IN THE END OF YEAR!!
SERIE A 2012 / 2013
MATCHDAY 18
SAMPDORIA 0 VS LAZIO 1
Lazio: Marchetti, Biava, Dias, Konko, Radu, Ledesma, Gonzales, Mauri (Ciani), Lulic, Hernanes (Cavanda), Klose (Floccari).
Surprisingly, Lazio managed to secure the second postion of Serie A before entering the winter break. With three points added after victory against Sampdoria yesterday, Lazio is now colected 36 points, 8 points behind the top position Juventus and only lead 1 point in front of Fiorentina and Internazionale.
At Luigi Ferraris Stadium, the home team made a high tempo attacking pace. It made Lazio concentrate more to survive their goal than to score a goal. Actually, Lazio came to Genoa with one advantage after the home team made the coach exchange. After fired Ciro Ferrrara, Sampdoria point Delio Rossi to take over the team.
As you already knew, Delio Rossi is a former Lazio coach. With him, Lazio gained a Coppa Italia trophy in 2009. Well, his first mission was to took down his former team and come home to Roma with empty-handed. He performed good tactic that make Lazio difficult to score to his new team's goal. But unlucky, Hernanes made his first mission end with failure.
In minute 28, Lulic succeeded to send a cross into Sampdoria's penalty box. Sampdoria's goalkeeper,Sergio Romero punch the ball out, but the ball headed to Hernanes. With an immediate reaction, he kicked the ball toward the goal and there was the first and the sole goal in this match.
As a said before, this second position is very surprisingly. Lazio started the season with some trepidation in the eyes of his supporters. With only get two new players in the transfer market last summer, Lazio practically did not change much compared to last season. But, I really thank God for this situation.
Well, Vladimir Petkovic and his players now can enjoy their holiday with calm and pleasant feeling. FORZA LAZIO!!

MY APOLOGIES... T_T
For the first... I want to say that I'm so sorry
that I have neglected this blog over the last few months due to lack of time. Many
things happened to Lazio for a few months, such as big victory in derby della capitale, Lazio through to the knockout phase of Europa
League , and the sharpening of Miroslav
Klose in tearing
the opponent's goal. Now he has collected 10 goals in
14 games! Amazing! The latter,
of course, the victory over Internazionale on
Saturday in the match before
the Christmas holidays and New Year.
My job and my college in this
semester are really draining
my time, making it difficult to take the time to keep
updating this blog. But, from now on I'll
start trying again to come back to update
this blog with information and news about the
pride of our club, Lazio!!
FORZA LAZIO!!

THIRD VICTORY IN A ROW!!
CHIEVO 1 VS LAZIO 3
Chievo:
Sorrentino, Sardo, Dainelli, Cesar, Jokic, Luciano, L. Rigoni, Hatemaj
(61’ M. Rigoni), Thereau (80’ Stoian), Di Michele (60’ Moscardelli),
Pellisier.
Lazio:
Marchetti, Konko (46’ Scaloni), Dias, Biava, Cavanda, Ledesma, Gonzalez
(65’ Cana), Hernanes, Candreva (78’ Ederson), Mauri, Klose.
A beautiful weekend for Biancoceleste at Bentegodi stadium, Verona. The third victory in a row for Lazio occured at this place. Nine points from three games make Lazio is on the third position after Juventus and Napoli with the same points.
In a game against the home team Chievo Verona, Lazio got the first goal in early minutes through the drive shoot from Hernanes. Miroslav Klose got his third goal this season after took a rebound ball from Hernanes. Half time was closed with 0-2 score for the guest team.
In the second half, Lazio added another goal to make the score 0-3. Hernanes was on fire to set up his third goal this season after make a solo run from the left side to the penalty box of Chievo. Klose and Hernanes are now the top goal scorer of the team with each 3 goals.
The newcomer, Ederson was played from the bench in this game. He replaced Antonio Candreva in the second half. Nothing much that He could do in this game, but I'm so happy to see him on the pitch this afternoon.
Well, a positive trend has been shown by the Petkovic's men after three games of Serie A. But, Lazio need to be careful because they have to fly to London to face Tottenham Hotspurs in Europa League opening game this season. Come on, keep on moving Lazio!!

THE CONVINCING VICTORY IN EARLY SEASON!
SERIE A 2012/2013 MATCHDAY 2
LAZIO 3 VS PALERMO 0
Lazio:
Marchetti, Konko, Biava, Dias, Lulic, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Hernanes (86’
Scaloni), Candreva, Mauri (80’ Onazi), Klose (89’ Kozak)
Palermo:
Ujkani, Pisano, Von Bergen, Cetto, Garcia, Barreto, Giorgi (51’ Rios),
Kurtic (Hernandez 58’), Bertolo, Ilicic, Miccoli (Dybala 58’).
Lazio gained a victory with convincing score against Palermo in the matchday 2 of Serie A this season. Three goals made up by Miroslav Klose's double and a single goal by Antonio Candreva. While the visitor team was incapable to make a score.
Well, as long as this new season runs, Lazio seems to have a bright future. Ederson, Ciani and Zarate are not played yet in domestic league. If Lazio can keep their consistency for the next weeks, I think it is possible for Lazio to be a powerful squad in Serie A. But, the journey is still far far away. There are still some doubt in my mind with this season squad. Only good performances in one match to another all this season long can throw out my doubtnesses.
Come on Eagles, Forza Lazio!!
