The two midfielders were the protagonists of a great match

Italian midfielder Nicolò Rovella and French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi were the protagonists of Italy-France, a match that saw the Azzurrini triumph on penalties in the friendly played yesterday in Frosinone. The two Lazio players returned to the biancoceleste in excellent condition and today they trained regularly with the group at Formello, under the gaze of coach Maurizio Sarri.

Rovella, who played the whole match, at the end of the match declared: "I am very happy to be here in Rome and to have made my debut with the Under 21 national team. I will work hard to improve and earn a place in the first team".

Guendouzi, who scored the winning penalty, said: "It was an important match, we played against a great team and we won on penalties. I am happy with my performance and with the victory. Matic is my point of reference, I try to observe him and learn from him".

Both players are expected to be part of Sarri's plans for the next season. Rovella, who arrived from Juventus in January, is seen as the ideal replacement for Lucas Leiva, while Guendouzi, who arrived from Arsenal in the summer, is expected to be a starter in the Lazio midfield.

Lazio fans are excited to see the two young midfielders in action and are confident that they can help the team achieve its goals for the next season.
