Gattuso praises Noslin after crucial point against Napoli at Lazio

See us more often on Google: Sunday evening at the San Paolo‑stadium Tijjani Noslin set the tone for Lazio, when he prepared the opening goal with a quick dribble against Napoli; the match ended in a 1‑1 draw in a nerve‑wracking battle for.

Coach Gennaro Gattuso praised the Dutch striker after the match. “He is fierce and physically feels good. He is an important player for us and has become more business‑like. He played a very good match,” Gattuso told the Italian Corriere dello Sport.

Noslin provided the assist for the opening goal. He ran away with the ball, after which Davide Frattesi made a deep run and shot past Milinkovic‑Savic with his left foot.

Earlier this season he scored twice in the 2‑6 victory over Sassuolo. That win showed his ability to score in important matches.

Media and statistics on Noslin

Italian media also praise Noslin. The Italian branch of Eurosport gave him a 7 and praised his first half as ‘of great value’, with a perfectly timed assist to Frattesi and numerous one‑on‑one duels.

Corriere dello Sport gave the same rating. The paper described him as dynamic, both on the wing and as a striker, and noted that he curled a shot just wide of the goal and provided the assist for Frattesi, but on a counter‑attack let a defender arrive at the ball earlier.

In Serie A the 27‑year‑old Amsterdammer now has four goals and four assists, as many as his personal record at Lazio from last season, achieved after eight matches.

Noslin arrived two years ago from Hellas Verona for around 16 million euros, including bonuses. The transfer underscored Lazio’s confidence in his potential.

Only since the start of this season, under Gattuso, has he found the consistent form he lacked in the previous two years. Since then he has played a key role in the club’s attack.
