Caicedo: "Lazio Is The Team In My Heart, I Still Follow Lazio When I Can And I Cheer For Them."

Important anniversary of a great figure in Lazio's recent history. Felipe Caicedo is 34 years old. The Ecuadorian striker, who was born in Guayaquil on September 5, 1988, wore the biancoceleste shirt from 2017 to 2021, scoring 33 goals in 139 league and cup appearances.

On his birthday, the Ecuadorian paid tribute to those who still want him to return in the future via Lazio-style radio:

"I came to Abha recently and was excited about this new adventure. My memories of Italy are all with Lazio and my feeling is there. I won the Super Cup and from there it was perfect. The first years were tough, but after that everything got easier, I settled in and we all knew the story. Lazio and their fans are a difficult place to conquer, but it's difficult because the bar there is getting higher and higher. "

"I was a substitute for one of the strongest players in Italy, but with hard work and the help of my staff and teammates, I conquered everyone. Immobile is strong, it's inexplicable. What amazes me is the mental strength he has, he is always on the spot and always helps his teammates. He is a true leader, on and off the pitch. He's a phenomenon."

"I will never forget the Derby goal, it was the best night. The Lazio fans are in my heart. The relationship with them has never changed and it will not. I am touched by their love. Lazio is the team in my heart. I was there for four years and I could have stayed longer, unfortunately, things didn't go as I wanted."

"Scudetto chance at 2019/2020 season? Covid stopped us.  We were a solid and capable team. We thought we could win the Scudetto. I was saying it out loud.  We all believed in it, team and fans. Unfortunately, Covid has stopped everything."

"I still follow Lazio when I can and I cheer for them.  It is a team that has a clear identity and that plays well.  We are certainly in the top four this year."
