Lazio coach Edy Reja has come to Dijbril Cisse’s defence by confirming his faith in the player, after failing to make an impact in recent weeks.
The Frenchman has only found the back of the net once this term, but is the clubs leading assist man. However, despite this, the player has been on the receiving end of criticism where he has been linked with a move away from the capital city.
Nevertheless, his coach has given his full backing and he is expected to start against Chievo on Wednesday evening.
“Cissè is a proud lad who can’t stand this sort of performance,” explained Reja. “He seems to be physically fit; now he just needs to rediscover that faith in himself.
“I hope it can happen tomorrow, because my intention is to play him and I’d like for Cissè to break his drought.”
