Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has revealed that coach Marco Baroni has been helping him improve on his ball progression since he moved to the club last summer, Soccernet.ng reports.
Dele-Bashiru joined Lazio in season-long loan from Turkish Super Lig club Hatayspor last summer, and he has had a decent start to life so far. The Manchester City academy graduate has contributed four goals and two assists in 14 appearances this season.
He scored Lazio’s solitary goal in their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Atalanta on Saturday, and that was just his fifth Serie A start of the campaign.

In a recent interview, he spoke about how Marco Baroni has influenced him. He revealed that the Italian tactician has been teaching him to be more positive whenever he has the ball.
“They [Baroni and the Lazio coaching staff] help me a lot, and what he [Baroni] wants me to do more is when I receive the ball, to go forward more, my body positions, things like that. So I’m trying to implement that into my game,” Dele-Bashiru told Lazio TV.
The 23-year-old midfielder has proven to be a reliable outlet for Lazio whenever he is on the pitch. If he continues to improve, the Eagles will make his deal permanent at the end of the campaign.
