interest from several European teams.
The Nigeria international has scored 3 goals in 67
appearances for the Serie A outfit since his move from My
People FC in 2012.
Everton, Werder Bremen and Swansea were some of the
teams reports claimed to be eyeing the services of the 22-
year-old, but with the transfer window over, he is now
focused on helping Stefano Pioli’s men do well in the Italian
topflight.
“I'm glad I stayed here at Lazio,” Onazi told lalaziosiamonoi.it.
“The important thing for me is to play because football is my
life. We have moved away [from Europa League] but we are
positive and we believe.
“Now we try to win and get more points [in the Serie A].
Now that the transfer window is closed, we have to work for
the championship.”
Lazio bowed 2-0 at home to Napoli on Wednesday, and the
midfielder felt his team lost to Maurizio Sarri’s side because
they failed to play as a team while promising a better outing
against Genoa on Saturday.
“We had studied the movements of Callejon and Insigne, but
we were unable to apply during [the game],” he continued.
“If you do not [mount pressure on your opponent], they
attack you. If you don’t score, you lose confidence.
“Today goes well, tomorrow it goes wrong, and that’s
football: the important thing is to stay focused for upcoming
games, and keep in mind the lessons.
"Against Genoa, we are positive; we keep in mind our goals.
We have already lost too many points, this knowledge will
help us win the game,” he concluded.
Lazio are ninth on the Italian topflight log with 32 points
from 23 games.
