Hernanes insists he was happy to accept being put on the bench for Lazio’s 3-2 victory at Udinese on Sunday.
The 28 year-old would come to score the winner, as the Biancocelesti secured a valuable three points.
Hernanes dedicated the goal to his family and was relieved to see Lazio win.
"I thank God for helping me to get out of this moment, he gave me so much strength," he said, as reported by Football Italia." I dedicate it to the fans, my friends, to all those who were waiting for one of my goals.
"The Coach told me that I was not starting and I was relaxed, I was calm as I should have been. I congratulate everyone [for the win] because it was not easy for the moment we were in."
