Carrizo: Forza Lazio!
Monday 7 July, 2008

Argentine goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo has finally arrived at Lazio and expressed his delight at completing a “dream move.”

The River Plate custodian seemed certain to join the Biancocelesti last summer, but his move stalled over citizenship and work permit problems.

However, the deal has finally been done and the highly rated South American can look forward to playing in Serie A after being presented to fans today.

“I want to thank all the fans for having waited for me,” he grinned. “It’s a very important day for me and I want to do my best here. Forza Lazio!

“I dreamed of coming to Italy and I chose Lazio because I liked the club and its tradition of Argentine players.

“I am proud to be a part of this team and I hope to play a big role. Who are my idols? Santiago Canizares, Julio Sergio and Gigi Buffon,” he concluded.
