Lazio: Isaksen is the surprise of the year, the Biancocelesti enjoy the Dane

Rome 27 February 2025 – Tuesday's result still stings, but there is no time to cry over an elimination that has already taken place. Lazio is out of the Coppa Italia and now needs to restart in the championship, after having suffered the overtaking by Juventus for fourth place. However, there is reason to be happy in the Biancoceleste house and specifically there is a player who shines with consistency. Gustav Isaksen he took home the award for best player on the pitch for the Biancocelesti also in the unfortunate match againstInter and in recent weeks he continues to offer top-level performances. A joy to watch for a player whose confirmation in the summer had raised several doubts, given the inconsistency shown the previous year.

Starting from the beginning last year there were huge expectations for the arrival of the Dane in the Capital. Paid 12 million by Midtjylland, after having crossed paths with him with mixed fortunes in Europa League, it can be said with a hint of irony that Isaac I have not found in Maurizio Sarri his new technical love. The Tuscan coach has preferred him on several occasions Felipe Anderson, an indispensable player for the former Lazio leader, thus slowing down the Scandinavian winger's adaptation. The striker, however, showed some flashes of his quality in the opportunities that were offered to him, but the goals that had so bewitched the Roman scouting department did not arrive. The Danish championship is certainly not the highest level competition on the global scene, but at the same time a haul of 21 goals and 9 assists, Europa League included, for an outsider it is something truly exceptional and therefore not to be underestimated.

At the end of last season the player made 37 appearances, many of which from the bench, with a minimum tally of just 3 goals and 4 assists in the league, Coppa Italia e Champions League. This season, however, the Dane has surprisingly started again as one of the fixed points of the team. The arrivals of Tijjani Noslin e Loum Tchaouna they also seemed to predict a possible exit, perhaps on loan to grow, but the Scandinavian convinced the new coach game after game. This continuity allowed the player to take the measure of the championship, growing with the passing of the weeks until he is, today, perhaps the player in the best form of the biancoceleste team.

In February, with still a third of the season to play, the player's haul already mirrors that of last year. In 34 games played so far between Serie A, Coppa Italia ed Europa League, only 4 goals scored, with the same number of assists. However, if we compare these numbers to those of last year, the growth is evident and with greater consistency in the goal area, we are talking about a potential star. Should this growth of the Dane materialize, the Biancocelesti could thus enjoy a champion for each lane, Isaac on the right to pair with Weather in Zaccagni to the left.
