“I am optimistic for tonight, though it would be wrong to be presumptuous at this moment. The second half of the Empoli game can be a starting point, as we saw the team of last season,” the director of sport told Mediaset Premium.

“Some terrible mistakes were made by the referee and it needs to be said. We need the officials to be more focused and fair.

“We spoke to Pioli for a long time, the table leaves something to be desired, but the Coach has done an excellent job.

“We are trying to emerge from this mini-crisis along with him. I followed the work done during the week and am optimistic. We have to think positive.

“I still believe in the quality of this squad. In recent games you didn’t see the real Lazio and I believe in an important comeback from this team.”
