Lotito in ‘heated confrontation’ with Lazio players

Lazio President Claudio Lotito had ‘a heated confrontation’ with the squad during their training retreat, it’s reported.

The Aquile were placed under lockdown in the Formello ground, so not allowed to go home to their families between sessions, following a 4-1 Serie A defeat to Hellas Verona on Sunday afternoon.

It is not clear how long that situation will go on for, but it is to help the team better prepare and focus for the midweek round against Fiorentina.

According to Lazionews.eu, President Lotito was also present at the training ground and had lunch with the team after the morning session.

Director of sport Igli Tare and coach Maurizio Sarri were already present.

At this stage, it’s reported there was a ‘heated confrontation’ between Lotito and the players, in which he ordered them to step up their performances.

The Biancocelesti have been remarkably inconsistent, in recent weeks beating Roma and Inter, yet also losing to minnows Bologna and Verona.
