Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni was named amongst a host of stars in the November edition of the Serie A Team of the Month.
Exceptional November
The 29-year-old missed a couple of league fixtures at the end of October due to stomach flu, but returned in November with a bang. He made his comeback off the bench against Cagliari, scoring the winner from the spot. This was followed by a sensational winner in Monza, and another splendid strike in the 3-0 victory over Bologna, in yet another man-of-the-match performance.
Mattia Zaccagni Makes the Cut
Therefore, WhoScored picked the Lazio skipper in the Best Serie A lineup for November 2024. The Italy international lands on the left wing in a 3-4-3 formation, with Bologna star Riccardo Orsolini occupying the opposite flank.
Inter’s Heavy Presence
The lineup is dominated by Inter who have three representatives on the list. This includes former Lazio defender Stefan de Vrij who filled in admirably for the injured Francesco Acerbi, alongside his Nerazzurri teammate Alessandro Bastoni. Moreover, Marcus Thuram is picked upfront, while his younger brother Khephren joined the lineup after carving himself a regular starting spot at Juventus.
