Bench role upsets Rocchi
Monday 24 November, 2008

Lazio hitman Tommaso Rocchi has admitted he was disappointed not to start against Genoa yesterday.

The reliable striker was the first name on the Aquile teamsheet last term, but his position is less secure after starting the season injured.

Mauro Zarate's excellent start to life in Italy has seen the Argentine ace guaranteed a starting shirt and he started alongside Goran Pandev yesterday, with Rocchi coming on at the start of the second half.

“Of course I am disappointed,” Rocchi lamented in the Corriere dello Sport.

“I can't be happy and pretend that everything is fine because I'm not that kind of person.

“However, I accept and respect the Coach's choices, even if sometimes they are hard to swallow.”
