A ghost wanders around Formello, he is the ferryman of a season with Shakespearean hues.
The quiet post-prandial coffee, the well-deserved one that should give you the push to face this early spring Tuesday, is suddenly spat out in full style “surprise“series and films made in the USA. Lhe news bounces furiously: Sarri has resigned. So what? And now? Will we all die? Surely the answer to the last question is “yes”, as for the other two it would be more convenient to leave them to some philosophical mind ready to tread the cobblestones of the road in search of the truth. We common and vulgar minds are only stunned and stunned by this greeting. Dutiful and justified on the part of a man like this, but who leaves us with a clear and distinct aftertaste of confusion and abandonment and, above all, in the hands of a completely incompetent and unsuitable management.
“What to do?“, this is how Nikolaj Gavrilovič Černyševskij titled his novel and the same question was taken up by Vladimir Il´ič Ul´janov (born Lenin): both asked themselves, still without an answer, how we must interpret and face the future. Well, the same question bounces around in the skulls of every Lazio fan. At the state of the art, those eligible to sit on the Biancoceleste bench left vacant by Maurizio Sarri are almost impossible to find and not due to their unattractiveness but rather due to the scarcity of those who have been left without a team to date. Rocchi hypothesis from spring? A fully Lotitian suggestion aimed at saving money and wanting to bring the ship to port without further damage. With all due respect to Tommaso, who will certainly have a glittering career like that of number nine, at this moment none of this is necessary. It is harmful, heartbreaking, annihilating and disheartening.

The problem of this club is the pinnacle: Claudio Lotito. His narrative as a savior, as a helmsman who took a ship without a helmsman in the midst of a storm to save it, gives back to the nostrils that acrid and nauseating smell of stale, musty. The fact that he is a fictional, folklore character makes him humanly inadequate to hold the reins of this team and the club. His shortcomings, on the other hand, as president are obvious: lack of an adequate communications department, inability to invest in building a team that can compete on three fronts, women’s sector left to fend for itself, absence of any type of dialogue with your fans etc.
Another very sore point are some players. Except, of course, for the new arrivals, the performances of Luis Alberto, Marusic, Lazzari, Felipe Anderson, Casale – just to name a few – are truly astounding. Of course, we are not talking about the Brazil of ’82 from which we would expect not a game but THE game, but we are talking about professional footballers who for various reasons clearly do not want to perform as much as possible. Anderson’s lack of desire is disarming as this season he has often mistaken the green lawn for Villa Borghese to go for a walk; equally disheartening is Marusic’s inability to do his job as a full-back, repeatedly missing closures, overlaps and everything else required of those who play in that role; Luis Alberto, the star who should turn the spotlight on with his right foot, seems almost distracted and disinterested in what is happening around him. The same thing can be said for Immobile last night who, having been replaced, caused controversy, not directly, over this choice. Unacceptable. History is made with goals and professionalism. Honestly, next year we would like to see these people outside the GRA.
Last but not least: Sarri. Maurizio Sarri, I turn to you. Thank you so much for everything, for last year’s game, for the excellent Champions League played, for reaching the semi-final of the Italian Cup, for the never banal press conferences and interviews. Thank you for watching the penalties facing North and cheering with us. Of course, the faults cannot fail to be yours too but where they exist we are talking about decidedly lower percentages than Lotito and the players. You tried until the end, you were on the front line first hand until you felt the earth crumble under your white sneakers and tracksuit. You represented me and us as a man and coach. Being conceptual in the face of short-sighted intellectuals involves being mocked and insulted, ridiculed and pointed at. You were the zapatista mono blanco: you warned us of the imminent danger, you tried in every way to show us the way with your nicotine curls whose trajectory was often diverted by the omnipresent hat. We tried in every way to keep you with us but as one of your predecessors, dear to us, Edy Reja, said “the framework is rotten” and when you have to sacrifice to the divinity of the ball the victim will always be the coach, as in a Camusian parable.
