Stankovic and the Scudetto of 2000: “That day God cheered Lazio”

ROME – Twenty years ago , Lazio won the second championship in its history.

The title was assigned to the last day in a daring way.

Lazio easily won against Reggina but had to wait 75 minutes to party.

The defeat of Juve in Perugia , which handed the title to the Biancocelesti, came at the end of a game that was interrupted for a long time due to bad weather.

Stankovic spoke about that magical day for Lazio and tragic for Juventus.

His statements are reported by gianlucadimarzio.com.

“Tension, anxiety and adrenaline, but victory was destiny.

Because that day, up there, someone cheered Lazio.

I feel fulfilled, also thanks to that championship.

God helped us by throwing water on Perugia, it was destiny for us to win.

Anxiety, tension, adrenaline.

At the end of the game 90 thousand people stopped for an hour.

I was in the locker room, next to the TV, so tense that I couldn't go to the bathroom .

I stood in a corner and sweated.

I lost 3 kilos.

In Rome there was the sun, in Perugia the universal flood, then suddenly a boy entered the locker room and screamed with joy, in tears, as if it were a liberation.

I don't even remember who I hugged first.

We were Champions of Italy.

We were a team of phenomena. We could have won everything, I always say it. "
