LAZIO – March 14, 2013. At the Olimpico, Lazio wins against Stuttgart 3-1 and flies to the quarterfinals of the Europa League: it’s Kozak show, a stunning hat-trick by the Czech gives his team qualification. The striker thus rises to an extraordinary European average: ten goals in nine European appearances, the first time an Italian team has reached the quarters since the Europa League was born.
The only jarring note on a magical night was Marchetti’s injury, touched with his foot by Ibisevic: just a cut, fortunately. In vain the goal that at 18′ of the second half allowed the Germans to revive. “I’m sorry that there were no people in the stands – closed-door shift, ed – but I’m very happy for me and for the team because we are a little bit in trouble.
I am happy and enjoy this evening,” the undisputed star player Kozak said on the sidelines. The Czech striker became the tournament’s top scorer, tied with Édinson Cavani; Lazio, meanwhile, won their eighth victory in 12 European matches and flew to the quarters. Now it’s time to dream for real.
SPORT – March 14, 2009. In Rome, at the age of sixty-eight, dies Ugo Longo, a former lawyer and Lazio president who succeeded in the feat of saving the Capitoline club left financially destroyed by Sergio Cragnotti. The lawyer’s funeral-held on March 16-was attended by, among others, Dino Zoff and Roberto Mancini, Claudio Lotito himself, Team-Manager Maurizio Manzini, and then-team captain Tommaso Rocchi: the three together covered the president’s casket with the biancoceleste flag.
HISTORY – March 14, 2004. Vladimir Putin is re-elected president of Russia for the second time: the U.S. weekly TIME voted him Person of the Year 2007, while the U.S. magazine Forbes ranked him first on its List of the Most Powerful People in the World from 2013 to 2016.
