The central defender is aware that he must improve in all areas of his game, and he is confident he can repay the faith shown by his club.
Lazio’s central defender Modibo Diakite joined the club back in 2006 from Serie B outfit Pescara, in a move that cost theBiancocelesti some €300,000.
It is fair to say that he has struggled over time whilst in the Italian capital, as he has failed to secure a spot in the starting line-up, being used only sparingly as a substitute.
He is aware that he must improve his game if he wants to remain with the club, who are reportedly set to loan him out at some stage in this transfer period.
Despite these rumours however, the player himself has demanded that he be kept in the Eternal City, as he stressed in a recent interview, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb.
“I can confirm that I asked the club and my coach to let me stay on here at Lazio,” Diakite confirmed.
“At the beginning of the season there was the chance to leave on loan, and the coach immediately told me that I would be given an opportunity sooner or later.
“This hasn’t really been the case yet, and they have proposed a loan move again. However, I would rather stay and improve here.
“I have to improve in everything, especially my technique,” he added.
“[Delio] Rossi reminds me to always be focused, as I tend to lose my concentration from time to time.
“I have many strengths, so I just have to work in the areas that I am not so strong in, and I will become a good player for the team,” he concluded.
Lazio get their New Year underway with a tricky trip south to face Reggina at the Oreste Granillo stadium this weekend.
