Lazio-Acerbi, an irremediable fracture: the Inter hypothesis appears

A very complicated summer. The exact opposite of the one experienced a year ago, when he graduated champion of Europe with the Italian national team. Happy days, those, in which no one would have ever imagined that in a few months the situation would be completely reversed for him.

Yesterday morning in Auronzo di Cadore there was a new episode of the protest by the ultras against him. It also happened at the beginning of the pre-season retreat and above all it happened in all the games played by Lazio at the Olimpico from December onwards. The rift between him and the hottest part of the cheering began in the last month of 2021 due to the defender’s controversial exultation towards the north curve after the goal scored against Genoa. Acerbi, facing the fans, first put his hands to his ears and then put a finger in front of his mouth. Then, at the end of the race, he made statements that were not at all accommodating. Gestures and words that have unleashed the anger of the ultras against him. The player’s subsequent apologies were useless, the fracture that was created has become irremediable and cannot be recomposed.

The sale of Acerbi remains the only possible solution. Also because, in addition to the diatribe with the ultras, there is also a relationship with the coach Sarri who never got off the ground. Not from a human point of view (the two are esteemed and respected, so much so that yesterday Sarri exposed himself personally with the fans to block the chants against the defender), but from a purely technical point of view. Acerbi is not the Tuscan coach’s ideal type of defender. According to him, he keeps the defensive line too low, he does not have the classic movements of Sarrian football, made up of aggression, in the ropes. For this reason, even before understanding whether Acerbi can be sold or not, the company has taken his replacement, Alessio Romagnoli. Even if he were to remain at Lazio, therefore, Acerbi would not be the owner. And not for the problems he has with the curve. To resolve the situation, however, the help of another technician could arrive, that Simone Inzaghi with whom, however, Acerbi was a staple not only of the defense, but of the entire Lazio. The two could in fact return to work together with Inter, given that the Nerazzurri club is looking for a central with which to complete the back department. And Acerbi is one of the goals. It would be the best solution both for the player and for Lazio. But it depends on Inter’s choices.
