Ravel Morrison made an impressive debut in Lazio’s first pre-season friendly, a 14-0 victory over C.S. Auronzo.

Coach Stefano Pioli let his men get a run-out against the local side and tried two different systems.

The first half was the 4-3-3 that proved so successful last season, taking them to third place in Serie A and the Coppa Italia Final. After the break he moved to 3-4-3.

The internationals are still unavailable, but former AZ Alkmaar defender Wesley Hoedt is settling in well.
