What chaos in the house Lazio. Eliminated from the Champions League, defeated at home in the championship by Udinese, the Biancoceleste club yesterday experienced the sudden resignation of Maurizio Sarrireplaced for now by his deputy Giovanni Martusciello. But that’s not enough, because, according to what the Messengerthe players would also be in question. The Biancoceleste director Mariano Fabiani would in fact be willing to convince Lotito to also do a total restyling of the team. The Roman newspaper also adds further details on the tensions that exist in Formello.
ROMAGNOLI – According to Messenger there would have been a squabble between Alessio Romagnoli and Claudio Lotitor. The central defender would have responded in kind to the owner after the announcement of his retirement: “I will not go. Just send me away. You didn’t give me a thousand things that you promised me“, is the phrase attributed to the former Milan player.
MARTUSCIELLO’S WORDS – Meanwhile, Martusciello’s first words as coach of Lazio have arrived. Words that serve to clarify the acceptance of the job in Sarri’s place, nipping in the bud some rumors that spread in the morning. With a note on the official Biancoceleste website, the new coach wanted to specify that, regarding some reconstructions that appeared in a newspaper this morning: “I have never uttered words that could go against the team, against Sarri, for whom I have deep respect, or other members. I simply gave my availability to the Company, which offered me this possibility. The work that has been completed so far cannot be diminished, just as no one will be able to undermine the commitment that will be further made from now on.”.
The reference is in particular to what was reported this morning by Messenger. Among the background stories it is also told that Martusciello’s decision to accept the nomination apparently arose from not wanting to let the players win. However, according to what was written in the newspaper, Sarri would not have liked this choice at all. In any case, this reconstruction is denied by the words published this afternoon by the club.
THE REPLICA – Through Instagramthe reply arrived from Romagnoli: “On Monday evening, after the match against Udinese, I had a conversation with president Lotito and we had a discussion, as often happens after the match. I was surprised to read some of my alleged quotation marks today. The tenor of this dialogue between me and the President was in fact far from the heated tones described and what was published does not correspond to reality. I have always thought about the good of Lazio and even more so in a moment like this.”
