Lazio Defender Rozenhal Disillusioned By Bench Role

The Czech Republic international is desperate for some more playing time...

Lazio defender David Rozenhal had an excellent start to the 2008-09 season, but has not featured for the Biancocelesti in recent weeks and is getting itchy feet sitting on the bench.

"It's true," the 28-year-old said, according to Datasport, admitting his lack of opportunities.

"I haven't spoken with the coach. I've asked for no explanation. I am not one of those players who demands a technical explanation for what is happening."

The Czech international claimed he would like to be back on the pitch, in order to show his worth, whether it be with Lazio or another squad.

"In my career, I've never stayed out of the line-up for such a long period. Will I change teams? Nobody likes being on the bench, I am paid to play," he concluded.

Rozenhal has made 19 league appearances for the Rome-based club this season. He arrived from Newcastle last season, initially on a loan deal that was eventually made permanent.
