Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi is eager to build on an excellent first-half of the season.

Lazio resume their Serie A campaign against Brescia today.

“We hope to pick up where we left off in 2019, a year where we won two trophies in five-and-a-half months," said the coach in his press conference.

They beat Atalanta for the Coppa Italia Final in May, then shocked Juventus 3-1 on December 22 to lift the Supercoppa Italiana.

“We must be aware of our capabilities, but at the same time humble, because danger is always just around the corner. We haven't played for two weeks, so we must immediately get back on point and be the real Lazio giving 110 per cent against Brescia.

“I've warned the team that all the other sides are stepping up a gear too, so we require the same spirit of sacrifice seen over the last two months."

He added: “Our self-confidence has grown over those unforgettable evenings in Riyadh and in the Coppa Italia Final. We ended 2019 on a high, now we are up against a Brescia side in good shape that would be out of the relegation zone if not for a last-gasp Parma equaliser.

“They have Mario Balotelli, who has great quality and put himself up for the challenge in his home town."
