Lazio market, Maurizio Sarri’s double dig at Claudio Lotito

Lazio did not go beyond a home draw against Bologna, a formation that precedes it by six points in the Serie A standings. The 1-1 draw against an opponent that also plays in the Europa League and won the last edition of the Coppa Italia, however, did not satisfy Maurizio Sarri, who while praising the fans and the Biancocelesti players for their performance and the determination shown on the field, wanted to send at least two barbs at his president Claudio Lotito. One, more sibylline, at the end of the match. Decidedly more direct, however, the one that preceded the whistle’start of the match at the Olimpico.

“The affection of our fans is extraordinary – stressed Sarri speaking at the microphones of ‘DAZN‘ -We do not forget that right now Lazio is a mid-table team, and to see what they have done for a mid-table team is extraordinary. So I will never stop saying thank you to them. The boys, then, put up a good performance against a difficult team that we were able to put up a fight. We are sorry we did not get the three points, but our performance leaves us happy and confident. Tonight we created a lot of chances, too bad about the few scoring opportunities. But maybe we made some wrong choices in the’last pass”.

Always to ‘DAZN’ but in the pre-match, Sarri had gone even more direct. “It is not enough that Lazio is not weakened. The team must be strengthened. If then some player has to arrive who does not improve us, he might as well not arrive”. The concept was then reiterated in the press conference held at the Olimpico after the biancoceleste’1-1 draw with Bologna: “I did not make requests to the club regarding the names of some players. I merely pointed out the roles in which a reinforcement could help us. I have talked about them with the society, to know who I am referring to you should enter the society. Otherwise I will not tell you”.

Sarri’s words on the Lazio market had been a direct consequence of those of Claudio Lotito himself. The Lazio president himself had assured ‘DAZN’: “The team will not be weakened in January, so there will be logic. However, we will not go to the supermarket with the spirit of pay one get three”.
