Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi insists he has ‘laughed off’ his heated phone call with Claudio Lotito, which ‘happens every day in business’.
A video of Lotito seemingly telling off Inzaghi went viral earlier in the week, prompting Lazio to threaten legal action, but the Coach made it clear he had ‘everything he wanted’ at the Olimpico.
Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi insists he has ‘laughed off’ his heated phone call with Claudio Lotito, which ‘happens every day in business’.
A video of Lotito seemingly telling off Inzaghi went viral earlier in the week, prompting Lazio to threaten legal action, but the Coach made it clear he had ‘everything he wanted’ at the Olimpico.
A video of Lotito “Confrontations like these happen every day in business,” he said at a Press conference for Saturday’s clash with Juventus in Serie A.
“I demand a lot and then [the conversation] happened, but we talked about this and that too. It’s an old phone call now.
“I laughed it off with the President. I have everything I want here. The important thing is that these confrontations are constructive.
“We have more options now than we did in previous years. We can enjoy lots of satisfaction if we all pull together.
“It’ll be a very difficult game against Juventus but one that’s also beautiful: we’ll go there to give them a game, even if we know that we’ll face an even stronger Juve than we did last year.
“However, it would be wrong to only think about Ronaldo. They’ll also play Dybala and Mandzukic, plus they have so many alternatives on the bench.
“We hope they don’t have their best games. These are matches that should be celebrated and which befit our DNA.
“We’ll need everyone. I have an XI in mind, but I won’t reveal it. We’ll try to pick up from our first half-hour against Napoli.
“If we hadn’t conceded their first goal, things would’ve gone differently… Unfortunately I don’t compile the fixtures. It was a difficult start for us, but we knew it would be.”
