Lazio president Claudio Lotito admits the Bianconcelesti need the ‘touch of lady luck’ to win the Scudetto this season.
Lotito spoke about Lazio’s title ambitions during an event in Rome to remember Tommaso Maestrelli on the day of what would have been his 100th birthday. Maestrelli was the first coach to win a Scudetto at the club.
“Lazio are the club, during my tenure, won the most trophies after Milan and Juventus,” claimed Lotito.
“An important thing is missing [the Scudetto], but we are working on it. We are committed to reaching all our targets. Not always good programming brings results. We need fate on our side, the dutch of lady luck.”
Maurizio Sarri’s men are just three points behind leaders, Atalanta and Napoli, after five wins, two draws and one loss, against the Partenopei, in Serie A.
The Tuscan tactician can still rely on one of the deadliest duos in Serie A: Ciro Immobile and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and has the second-less beaten defence in the league with just five goals conceded.
What planet is he on? The team that played so insipidly on Thursday against Strum Ganz will NEVER win the scudetto.
I wouldn’t call Immobile part of a deadly duo he looked old and slow and always looks off balance when playing in the europa league last night,
even though his goal was offside he nearly mess that up.
Lazio have no chance with him as their main striker
Raspedori now makes him look senile hope Mancini can see this
Raspadori may be the present and future for Italy but that is no reason to disregard Immobile who has consistently scored more club goals per season than Raspadori has in his whole career of 4 seasons total. Of course Lazio have been very poor in the Europa League, everyone can see that, but Ciro still has 5 goals in Serie A and Sergei has 3 so the comment is a fact, they are one of the deadliest duos in Serie A. Raspadori and Kvaratskhelia have 1 and 5 respectively so also one of the deadliest duos.
