, following the midfielder’s impactful performance in their 1-1 draw with Atalanta on Saturday night.

Dele-Bashiru was the standout performer for the Biancocelesti, scoring the opener in a thrilling encounter.

It was his second Serie A goal of the season, further cementing his growing influence on the team.

The game marked a positive turnaround for Lazio, who had suffered a heavy defeat in their previous home match against Inter Milan.

While Marco Brescianini’s late equalizer denied them all three points, Baroni was satisfied with his team’s overall performance.

The Lazio boss reserved special praise for Dele-Bashiru, highlighting his steady adaptation and physical presence in the midfield.

“Dele is improving every day,” Baroni said in his post-match interview with Sky Sport Italia.

“He played a lot in the Europa League this season and perhaps needs more quality in his passing, but he is physically very effective.”

Despite the draw, Lazio’s impressive display keeps them fourth in the Serie A standings, with Dele-Bashiru proving to be a key player in their push for a strong league finish.
