Lazio coach Edy Reja says he feels more comfortable in second-place.

The Biancocelesti were the surprise Serie A leaders, but now that they are 'only' in second place, the media is more focused on other sides.

"We don't fit in with the important clubs and evidently the media consider us to be smaller compared with Inter, Milan, Juventus and Roma," said Reja.

"This is why we do not have the same column inches in the newspapers or the same consideration.

"However, this is not a problem. If anything, we do better working in the shadows. Right now there is so much talk about Milan and Massimiliano Allegri.

"When we were dominating the debate, we immediately hit two straight defeats against Roma and Cesena. Now we'll see if the same happens to the Rossoneri."
