Lazio Scudetto Photos - Midfield

Veron's nickname is "la Brujita" (the little witch), for his magic on the field, as well as a tribute to his father, who played soccer with the nickname "la Bruja". This play was an example of pure magic. A corner kick by Veron, against Verona - the direct kick curved into the net untouched - goal Lazio!





Veron in action - his trademark was ball control and passing. And low socks.





Pavel Nedved tallied 5 goals during this winning campaign.

Simeone is shown here in 2001 wearing the prize: Scudetto-jersey with the Coppa Italia badge as well. Simeone's clutch contribution - the biggest of many - came in Turin with Juventus unbeaten at home and leading by 6 points in the race. After Ferrara picked up a 2nd yellow card for Juventus, Simeone got his Golazo. His first-ever goal in a Lazio uniform, beat Van Der Sar, and gave Lazio all 3 points that day.





Sergio Conceicao has 2 goals in the winning campaign.

Almeyda in action.





 





Matias Almeyda scored 1 goal during the championship season. He's better known for his pledge of cutting his hair if Lazio win the Scudetto. He got to cut it all right.

Cirio was the sponsor during their championship year.





Siemens won the sponsorship and the right to associate with the Scudetto champions the following year. This is Stankovic in 2001.
