Unlucky! Lazio Already Had 9 Woodwork Hits In 12 Matches, With Immobile Having The Most

Luis Alberto's shot in the derby is still shaking the post. It was the doorstep of the season of Lazio: the match would have been completely different if the Spaniard's shot had been converted into a goal. Unfortunately, this is still not new for the Lazio: this is the 9th time they have hit the woodball. In Serie A, only Frosinone did better with 12. Napoli had the same result as Sarri's team. This was reported by Il Corriere dello Sport.

We're discussing significant numbers, with an average of one wood-related hit every 0.75 games. The final one resulted in the derby hit by Luis Alberto. It is the second consecutive for the number 10, who had already hit the crossbar from a corner in Bologna. The current holder of this special ranking, however, is Ciro Immobile, who in the first 5 days was already at 3 (versus Lecce, Genoa, and Monza).

Then there was Guendouzi's cross against Atalanta on matchday eight, followed by three more woodblocks, all of which came in Reggio Emilia against Sassuolo. First the crossbar from a corner, then Zaccagni's post, and finally the one hit by Cataldi from outside the area. In general, it's a very unfortunate Lazio. And who knows what the season would have been like if there had been less woodwork and more goals.
