Save – “I took a club died and I took him to the geometric growth after writing off a debt due to a monstrous job incessant accounts, management, on the market. We are a company growing exponentially, because every year we increase, both technically and economically. Who was there before spending 90 million euro for Mendieta without ensuring the quality of the player. With me these things never happened. ”

new – “They called me ‘Lotirchio’ because it took players on a free, then I invented the loan with the right of redemption, the sale of the brand, and now they all do so, because the money is not there more and perhaps there were never states and the financial facelift can no longer do. The capacity should be to protect the supreme interest of the community. By the time the contract also depend depreciation, functional at the same time. The other element is that of exploitation. If we taking young players is right for speech enhancement, which then direct impact on the asset value of the company. “

examples -” I’m sure that Keita or Felipe Anderson will grow and will increase its value. A Keita did a lecture after the accident that not even imagine, because here at Lazio apply also an educational process, which also involved such as Di Canio to the speech of the links given away. But to those who come to us, as Klose who first took over 4 million, you have to give something different. Hence the need to create a sense of belonging, as with the initiatives Olympia or the same bus. “

masterpiece -” The Hernanes situation? I called the prosecutor immediately after sniffing the situation. Then I spoke with him after the defeat at Napoli. ‘Talk to your family, you let me know at the end of year’, said the player. Then I phoned the prosecutor who told me he wanted to go to Inter with whom he was flirting. I gained 20 million and would have lost in June: a masterpiece! Only now people realize that with that money came Anderson and teammates. “
