It's been eight years since Lazio won the Scudetto and three years since the club was implicated in the Calciopoli (the match fixing scandal that resulted in the relegation of Juventus to Serie B of which they have yet to recover and the points deduction and ouster from the UEFA Cup by Lazio and the other clubs) and as this early, they're the surprise leaders of the Serie A.
Gaffer Delio Rossi has his side playing well despite all the previous distractions and taunts of stadium rival AS Roma. But much credit has to go to his twin strike force of Argentinean Mauro Zarate (six goals) and Macedonian Goran Pandev (four goals) that has helped them win four of their first five games. And this weekend, they look to chalk up a fifth victory at the expense of Lecce which is somewhere in the lower half of the standings (Cagliari is the worst so far).
We've posted about Zarate earlier as he totally slipped under the radar after Lazio got him on loan from Al-Sadd from Qatar and who had a stinit with Birmingham City (relegated from the English Premier Leagues this season). Andriy Shevchenko just bonked in his first goal of the season (much to the relief of Milan fans) while Intermilan's Adriano and Juventus' Alessandro Del Pierro have yet to find the back of the net.
