<span class="titolo">Lazio To Continue With Ballotta</span></p> <span class="sommario">Following goalkeeper Nestor Muslera's bad display against Milan, 43-year-old goalkeeper Marco Ballotta will probably be back between the Lazio sticks when the league resumes.</span></p> The day after the home debacle against Milan, caused in large part by goalkeeper Nestor Muslera's terrible performance, it seems clear that the Lazio coach Delio Rossi no longer has any doubts on who is his first-choice stopper.</p> 43-year-old Marco Ballotta, more than twice Muslera's age (the Uruguayan is 21), will probably be the first choice again when the league resumes in two weeks' time, and he will also continue playing in the Champions League.</p> "He's earned the right play after his performances of last season and in the Champions League preliminary," Rossi said about the aging goalkeeper, who was supposed to be the wise advisor to young Muslera's integration in the Lazio environment, but is nowproving to be infinitely more reliable.</p> While the coach admitted Muslera might not play for Lazio in the near future, he also hinted the youngster will get chances to prove himself again.</p> "The problem isn't the player, it's the role of the goalkeeper. If we bought him, it means he has qualities, but he comes from the other side of the world, he doesn't know the language yet...," Rossi said.</p> "In any case a goalkeeper has to be evaluated after 4-5 games, only then you can draw up a balance and understand whether he should be kept in goal or substitute him with someone else, because right now everyone's eyes are on him."</p> </p> Muslera, reason Lazio lost vs Milan</p> </p>
Well of course I'm willing to give the youngster another opportunity. They should allow him to play another match as the loss to Milan is going to hurt his abilities in the future if he isn't given more opporunities to prove himself at this level.</p>
Yea they should play him, but try and do so versus teams like Emoli, Reggina, Livorno. That way they don't risk of losing the game and also he gets experience at the goal.</p>
