Lotito Launches X-Rated Rant Against Lazio Fans & Players: ”We Handed Inter Milan the Win”

Lazio president ranted about the club’s supporters who have been protesting against him, and the players for their Coppa Italia final performance.

The Background

The majority of the Biancocelesti fanbase has identified the Italian senator as the main culprit behind the club’s under-par campaign, accusing him of looking after his own interests rather than the club’s.

Therefore, the organized fan groups have been boycotting Lazio’s home fixtures since January, when Lotito and Co. sold some of Maurizio Sarri’s most important players and replaced them with cheaper alternatives.

Claudio Lotito Snubs Tommaso Paradiso

Many famous Lazio supporters have joined the protest, including Italian singer Tommaso Paradiso, who participated in this year’s edition of the Sanremo music festival. The artist penned an open letter to Lotito, urging him to listen to the fanbase. However, in a chat with reporters (via Lazio Siamo Noi), the owner claimed he never heard of Paradiso.

I read nothing, I don’t listen to music, I have no time. I sleep three hours a night and work 21 hours a day. Paradiso? I don’t know who he is.

Lotito Promises Major Financial Boosts

Lotito insisted his project remains on the right track, and that Lazio will begin reaping the benefits from their Nasdaq listing and Stadio Flaminio project in the coming years.

I’ve been president for 22 years, I’ve won six trophies, I brought the team back to Europe, there can also be a season that goes less well. I’m working for Lazio, I presented the plan for the new Flaminio stadium, I’m finishing the Academy, what more must I do? I’m listing the club on Nasdaq in New York which will capitalise at one and a half billion euros; with an owned stadium it reaches €3 billion. All the rest is bar talk. The new stadium, with all the parallel activities, will bring at least €80–100 million in revenue per year. With the naming of the new facility we make €15 million a year and in 15 years that means €225 million and it has paid itself off. I’m working to make the club autonomous, immortal and independent.

Will Lotito Make Peace With Lazio Fans

Lotito was asked if he plans to reconcile with the Lazio supporters, but insisted that it was they who turned on him.

You mustn’t ask me, I never made war on anyone; it was fed even inside the club. The fan is projected onto today, he wants to win, I understand the frustrations but the fan must support, I do the president’s job and I want to make Lazio immortal, independent even from Claudio Lotito. I must protect Lazio’s history, I cannot let it go bankrupt. Empty stadium? You must ask those who don’t come; I certainly can’t nail them down to their seats. They don’t want to come? Then don’t come… Maybe in Rome the fans aren’t there, but all over the world there are loads of them, even in China…

On Lazio’s poor Campaign

The Italian lawyer admitted that the team registered poor results this season, but he believes that the circumstances didn’t help his team, and claims the team improved when he took matters into his own hands.

The fans are right: we lost against the small teams and won against the big ones. Something didn’t work. A cursed season with thousands of injuries. I don’t have to apologise for anything, except the results that didn’t come. Maybe at the start of the year I delegated too much, then I took the club back into my hands and the results came. I also act as a social shock absorber; otherwise these a******s (in a reference to the fans) who would they vent on? I’m also the punching bag; Friedkin (The Roma owner) instead is a ghost…

Lotito Throws Lazio Players Under the Bus After Recent Defeats

Lotito then turned his attention to the players, blaming their individual mistakes and weak mentality for the 0-2 defeat against Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia final.

Playing without the support isn’t the same thing, but even with the fans nothing changed: against Inter we lost 2–0, an own goal and a ball that we gave them ourselves, then we wasted three goals in front of the net. What did Inter do to win? We handed it to them. If the players had the balls that I have, the match would already be over, nobody would stand a chance. The problem is that when they go onto the pitch they s**t themselves.

Regarding the 0-2 defeat in the Derby della Capitale against Roma, Lotito pointed the finger at the poor marking that allowed Gianluca Mancini to score twice from corner kicks.

You concede a goal from a corner kick and then the second one the same way, but do you want to put someone marking? I’m not the one going onto the pitch, for f**k’s sake.

On Maurizio Sarri’s Future

Finally, Lotito was asked about Maurizio Sarri, who is reportedly on his way out of the club. Nevertheless, the president insisted he still has two years left on his contract.
