“We are on a roll, but haven’t achieved anything yet,” warned the Aquile boss. “We’re only halfway through our journey and nothing will count until the end of the season.

“I want to see the same attitude and desire to win the game. It all depends on our approach and we have the utmost respect for Cesena on their own turf.

“The moment a team feels it cannot do better, that is when it is closest to a fall. We can really improve in many areas, especially in terms of consistency and the way we read the game.

“Anyone who thinks this match will be easy clearly doesn’t know anything about Italian football. Almost all my players have tried out a synthetic playing surface, so for me what really counts is the right attitude.

“I am a realist and know how to motivate my players. I know how football works. We’ve achieved nothing and must be satisfied only when we reach our objective. Being fourth now is nothing but a virtual position.”

Stefan Radu and Lucas Biglia are suspended with Felipe Anderson, Stefan de Vrij, Filip Djordjevic, Michael Ciani, Edson Braafheid, Santiago Gentiletti and Senad Lulic injured.

Lazio are already planning for next season, having signed Wesley Hoedt from AZ Alkmaar and Ravel Morrison from West Ham.

“Morrison is a quality player with strength and a change of pace.”

Lazio squad for Cesena: Marchetti, Berisha, Strakosha; Basta, Konko, Pereirinha, Cana, Mauricio, Cavanda, Novaretti; Mauri, Ederson, Gonzalez, Parolo, Onazi, Ledesma, Cataldi, Oikonomidis, Candreva; Klose, Keita Balde Diao, Perea
