Lazio have only gained 26 points in 16 games and the club president believes the players are not showing their full potentials.

I like the coach, but we are still not doing what he wants,”

“With time, we will make it, we’ll see the results sooner or later.”

“We must go the opposite direction than the one we are going now,”

continued the captain

Ciro Immobile

“We are not happy with what we are doing, we don’t need drama, but changes. The President is trying to motivate us. As a good head of a family, he must use the carrot and the stick.”
