Fisayo Dele-Bashiru was once again an unused substitute for Lazio while defending themselves from a two-goal deficit to ensure a 2-2 draw against Parma in his clash from the series to Monday.
He scored the third consecutive game in which the 24 -year -old Nigerian midfielder remained in the bank, with his last appearance during the Derbi of Rome against Rome on April 13.
Despite showing promise at the beginning of the season, Dele-Bashiru has fought to consolidate a constant role in Lazio’s initial alignment.
Until now, it has appeared in 19 League games, registering three goals and an assistance. However, his time in the field has been partially limited to the setbacks of injuries and a hard competition in the center of the field.
In Monday’s game, Lazio was forced to dig deeply after Parma took the lead only three minutes through Jacob Ondrejka, who then doubled the advantage in the early second.
The veteran striker Pedro took a step forward for the local team, scoring twice to rescue a point for the hosts and keep their European hopes alive. Lazio currently feels seventh at the table with 60 points.
Since Lazio joined on the Turkish side Hatayspor last summer, the product of the Manchester City Academy has adjusted to the tactical demands of Italian football.
“My favorite role would be as a box from cash to cash, in positions number 8 or 10,” he told Sports Boom.
“I like to drive the ball, run out of the ball. I can attack well and defend well too. While 100% shape and I have understood everything tactically, we will have a very good season together.”
