“The truth hurts you, I know”sang Caterina Caselli way back in 1966. It’s true the truth hurts because it clarifies every doubt, erases every hope and destroys every dream that each of us has in our minds.

While with Sarri some catchphrase occasionally came out, Mister Tudor brought us all back down to earth from his very first days as Lazio coach. For goodness sake, nothing to say, but it hurts him to know certain things, in such a direct way and without mincing words. We will always be on the side of the fan who aims for the best, because resigning ourselves to a life of mediocrity is not our style. W is reality, but always working on the dream that you keep inside your drawer is the driving force behind reaching every goal.

“Sarri, in his first press conferences, tried to make the fans aware of this. However, where there is boundless love, objectivity is often lacking. A coach and a club must always make honest assessments. If athletes are asked to achieve unattainable goals, this is not constructive. Expectations must be high, but objectivity must always prevail, otherwise you are not acting in the club’s interest. I happened to talk to a 27/28 year old Lazio fan who asked me for the scudetto. We have discussed this topic, he is very passionate and it is right for him, but there is also a need for realism.”
All this while next Sunday at the Olympic stadium we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Lazio’s first scudetto.
