Giuntoli’s sentence
On how it might end he said: “Clearly it will not go unnoticed in the eyes of society. We will not wage war on anyone but we do not accept compromises. Now I will talk to the boy because I don’t know what could have happened six months later. We will listen to his motivations and carefully understand how to proceed“. Then up Lotito: “He takes blame even if it’s not his own. He never forced any decisions on me and always left me free rein. I made a mistake, but he took responsibility there too. In football, it’s not about money but ideas. In Turin I was talking to Giuntoli, he told me ‘I don’t know if I can put things right in two or three years’. We have to understand one thing, and I say this to the fans: we are in the workplace to improve things, to reverse the concept I was talking about before. Lazio must not be Fabiani’s service, it is Fabiani who is at Lazio’s service. It is good that everyone makes this concept their own. I don’t mince words, if I have to intervene I intervene.” The director then spoke about the renewal of Felipe Anderson…
Fabiani and the situation renews
On the topic of renewal Fabiani he said: “Patric and Provedel have already signed. We are talking to Felipe Anderson’s entourage to whom we have made a five-year proposal and we as Lazio care about him because we consider him an exemplary professional with still many years left to play. Then we will move on to address the Zaccagni issue with which we will try to meet your needs. There must be the will on the other side, should an offer of 50 million come to him, we raise our hands”. Come on Kamada: “We tied ourselves to him for a year, even though we would have liked to do a multi-year contract. In order to get him we granted him this clause, but at the end of the year we will see what he wants to do. It is important for us to move forward with programming.” Fabiani then spoke about the fans: “It’s sad to see them angry and disappointed. We would all like to rejoice together with them. We have to make a plan and build a model.”
On the resignation of Sarri: “If Maurizio decided to throw in the towel, even though the president and I tried to convince him until 6pm, it was probably because he understood that the toy no longer worked. He did not accept the resignation immediately, but was paid his salary until June, to him and his staff. He was intent on signing his resignation without taking a single euro. The president said ‘he’s a good person, let’s pay him his salary until June’. Too many negative messages are passed around, the truths are always hidden.” While on Tudors: “We went towards a solution to start a new technical program. It’s a planned choice”. Closing on the season: “We could have done better, at the start of the championship there is no Champions League, and we made many mistakes there. With 10/11 of the team that achieved second place last year. Not all things happen by chance, there is probably always a reason. And something is emerging. I’m not here for money, I don’t take 500, 400, a million. I’m here for spirit and to provide a service and if I notice that someone wants to play the ass on Lazio’s back, I think I’m saying very, very bad things to them.”
