Gennaro Gattuso is looking to continue Lazio's strong start to the season as they host Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Sunday. Lazio are currently joint leaders with Inter, who face a difficult Derby della Madonnina this evening. Gattuso has taken the enthusiasm from his ill-fated Italy experience to Lazio. The match kicks off at 14.00 GMT.

Cagliari are coming off three consecutive defeats, including a 4-2 loss to Roma on Tuesday evening at the Stadio Olimpico. Gattuso believes Lazio need to maintain their consistency and DNA to succeed against Cagliari, who are known to sit back and be damaging on the counter-attack. Lazio's target is to reach 40 points, and Gattuso is focused on the next game.

Gattuso has brought a different mindset to Lazio, characterized by enthusiasm and a strong work ethic. He is proud of how the players are training and working, and believes that playing with enthusiasm is key to success. Gattuso is not getting ahead of himself, aware that there are 29 games to go and a lot of points up for grabs.
