2) Lolito’s crazyness extends to the pitch for Lazio
Marcelo Bielsa joined and quit Lazio as manager within 48 hours, thanks to owner Claudio Lolito breaking a few promises. Recalling former boss Simone Inzaghi has resulted in a very public spat with Keita Balde, one of the best young talents in football, with the player being accused of faking an injury to force through a move.
Lazio are entertaining enough off the pitch, but were as nuts on the pitch as well. Some swift interplay around the box meant that Ciro Immobile, Wesley Hoedt and local boy Cristiano Lombardi gave the Biancocelesti a 3-0 lead going into the break. However, this is Lazio after all – Atalanta pulled two goals back to set the cat amongst the pigeons only for Cataldi to make the game safe in the final moments.
A 4-3 win away in their season opener could mean that Lazio could possibly be the most entertaining team to keep an eye out for in Serie A. Watch this space – Lazio’s Serie A campaign is only just beginning to warm up, and we could see some stunning reverses from the unpredictable side as well.
