Lazio president urges players to work harder

(GSM) – Lazio is going through a sportive crisis and find themselves back in the relegation zone. Yesterday, former Napoli boss Edy Reja replaced the sacked coach Davide Ballardini.

Today, club president Lotito said he wants to see a response from his players, and has asked them to make an extra effort.

“In order to get out of this situation we need to work, work and work,” he told Il Messaggero.

“The expectations were not respected and although our position in the league is poor, it does not reflect the value of the team.

“I have put in plenty of money and made initiatives that will remain in history.”

Lazio’s problems were underlined further when a thousand fans clashed with police on Tuesday, leaving three people needing hospital treatment for cuts and bruises.

“The protest? That was instrumental and planned,” he concluded.
