The president intervenes to correct the course: only 4 points in 5 games. The criticisms of Sarri but also of the team
Lazio doesn’t go, Lotito doesn’t accept it. The Biancoceleste president is convinced that with the players who arrived in the summer the team must perform much more, but instead he is experiencing the worst start of his management (just 4 points in 5 games). For this reason, two decisions have arrived aimed at shaking up the players. The rest day initially scheduled for today has been cancelled. The team will meet in Formello to prepare for the match against Torino. Above all, however, the players will go into training camp starting from Tuesday.

Lotito accuses Sarri of not having given enough space to certain players (above all Castellanos, purchased in July for over 15 million), but also asks for a different attitude from the team. For this Tuesday, on the eve of the match against Toro (it will be played on Wednesday at 8.45pm), once finishing has finished, the team will stay to sleep in the sports centre. Usually training camps at Lazio are optional, but this time Lotito decided it was mandatory. The players will have to look at each other and band together to get out of the crisis. Since Sarri has been in Rome (summer 2021), it is the third time that the team has been sent into retreat: it happened in October 2021, before a match against Fiorentina, and last March before the derby. Both matches were then won by the Biancocelesti 1-0.
