"I'm excited to be here, Lazio is truly an important club. I hope to put my qualities at the service of the team, that the club will appreciate them, and that I can help the team achieve its goals." So said Danilho Doekhi, Lazio defender, to the club's official channels.

"To the fans, I want to say that I'm very happy to be here and I can't wait to meet them. I hope to bring them a lot of satisfaction. I spoke with Gattuso, we had a great chat and now it's time to get to work," added the new Biancocelesti signing. There are already two Dutch players here and that helps me a lot, they can make it easier for me to settle in and integrate into the group."

Then, speaking about his own qualities, he admits to being "a defender who tries to read the game, who enjoys defending, taking on attackers and preventing them from scoring. But I also like to be dangerous in the opponent's box."

The reason for the '5'

Finally, regarding his choice of number, the 5: "because I already wore it at Union Berlin, where I had a very positive period," he concluded.
