Hernanes was interviewed by Sky after tonights win against Inter at the Stadio Olimpico which meant that Lazio took their 4th consecutive home win against Inter in the Serie A, a feat the club from Rome had never previously achieved in their history.
“No-one has a magical wand, not even Reja. It can’t all be a mental issue, there is also a physical aspect to take into consideration. Here, you have to be at your best in order to make a difference and therefore it’s very important for us all to be back at 100% fitness wise. For example myself, this year I prepared very little ahead of the season and I couldn’t train so well given how tightly the matches were played after one another. So I decided to stay and not go back to Brazil over the holidays, it would have been complicated.”
“My contract renewal? I’m in no rush, I want to prove my worth on the pitch first” Hernanes concludes.
