You don’t have the opportunity to come to the stadium but have powerful means: TO BE UNITED and SHOW EVERYONE YOUR PRESENCE!

DEAR LAZIO AND LAZIALI,

NAME AND COUNTRY
I don`t have to apologize I guess for not posting for soooo long. This season we suck. If you followed the team, you know what I mean. I came up with this piece while trying to summ up the first part of the season. Good read:
=============
My naivity might have gone as much as hoping for a champions league spot, or making a semi final in Europe League.
However, that we would with 20 points in 19 games, has not even crossed my mind in my most dark and pessimistic thoughts.
We started the Serie A season with 2 undeserved wins, against sluggish (on paper at least) Atalanta and Chievo. The win in Verona was in particular points that we did not deserve.
Then came a match, which according to my opinion our best played this season, against a might Juve at Olimpico. We lost, but did not deserve. I guess we paid the luck we got a week earlier against Chievo.
Then came a period, one of the darkest in our history: 12 matches without winning. We lost to anyone we could, at home at away. We lost to teams we used to beat easily. Even when we drew, we did that by defending in 11. No creativity, no aggressiveness, no team spirit: nothing.
We, Lazio fans had to wait from 30 August 2009 until 13 December 2009 to cheer for a win. Our coach appears clueless. It is apparent that he is not at the level to coach a team like Lazio. Despite such results, his job was apparently never at risk, because our beloved President would claim that the problem is in our players heads, rather than on his chosen coach.
Formations used to shuffle from 4-3-1-2; 4-3-2-1 and end up with an ultra defensive 3-4-1-2, which in fact is a 5-4-1. It is touching to see players like Zarate and Rocchi return to defend, instead of playing to score.
It is true, we occasionally see this team is capable of reacting, showing some passion, but we all witness that under coach Ballardini, this team can not go far. His lack of courage is damaging this team beyond comprehension.
Without bringing a good central midfielder for the start to play alongside Matuzalem in whatever formation, we can hardly hope to pass on the left part of the standings.
I am once again returning to write after a long long period of going dark.
Just after we started to win some matches after that misarable form, during which we lost 5 matches and equalized 1 (thus dropping even behind roma in the standings) and just when we were facing the weakest team in the league (Chievo), this Lazio team strikes again: they line up 3 more defeats, each more shocking than the other, showing a total lack of spirit and fight for the team.
A home defeat to Chievo Verona, and then 2 away ones at the hands of Catania first, and then Siena, made me feel sick and totally devestated. That was a period when this team should have pushed harder than ever, because we were approaching the CL threshhold so quickly. Then these three defeats ruined everything.
I have been receiving emails inquiring what happened to this blog and why are you not writing any more. But what was there to write about ? The team performances were disgusting. All Lazio forums I visit regularly went silent. Were remained speechless.
Now, despite the 3 recents wins, each more important pscycholigically than the other (first derby and Genoa away – WOW – and Juve for Coppa Italia), I am still confused as to what should I feel about this season. I mean this team has potential, but just when you think they are ready for the bigger step, they totally fail! Now, I am afraid of these team screwing up against Atalalta this Sunday, because it appears as soon as they start playing well, they suffer from too much self-belief. I hope I am wrong though and we win again. Forza LAZIO.
Lazio crashed to a 3-0 defeat to Chievo on Sunday with defender Emilson Cribari taking the defeat particularly badly.
The 29-year –old Brazilian defender was substituted with 8 minutes to go and was booed off the park by his own fans.
This resulted in Cribari breaking down in tears after the match.
Following the game, Cribari said: “I will leave Lazio at the end of the championship, I have decided that I will speak with the President. If Lotito wants he can even keep the last three or four months of my wages, it’s honestly not a problem with me.”
Cribari added: “I will do my bit if I come to be selected from now until the end of the season. But when the campaign comes to a close I will ask to leave. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. I no longer feel wanted here.”
Cribari has been a Lazio player since the 05/06 season when they bought him from Udinese. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2012 but with the player keen to move then a bid of around 2.5 million Euros should be enough to get the defender.

Dear readers and Lazio fans, Guido de Angelis (in case yuo don`t know him), is editor in Chief of Lazialita and a huge Lazio fans. Yesterday I came across a letter of his dedicated to the late president Ugo Longo. I translated it in English as better I could (excuse me for any potential mistakes). I am bringing it here. The original text can be found here.
Good bye Ugo, my dear friend
Bye Ugo,
My old friend. I was aware that you were fighting with that enemy and for that reason you were isolated completely from the world of football that you loved so much.
We came to know each other through the radio, based on one of so many live afternoon radio shows. I understood that you were an passionate listener of mine and you had, just like me, Lazio in your heart.
Cragnotti chose you to defend Lazio from thousands of problems that it faced. In all Lazio storms, you were our captain. You faced in first person all problems of the club but always maintained an optimism for all Lazio fans.
In the century story you will always have a place in the first line, because if Gegeral Vaccaro refused to merge Lazio with Roma, you saved basically Lazio from bankrupting.
I will miss you, we will miss you, because your smile stamped in your face is a picture I will carry with me forever.
You were one of the most loved presidents of the club, you were the one that brought the biggest number of yearly ticket subscribers in Lazio history and it is a pity that you finished your days without a place in the club. But this is not important; my self and all laziali will remember you every day, because your name will become an example of transmitting a healthily, genuine and romantic lazialita, which accompanied you for all your life. From the time you moved from your old Caltanisseta to our city.
We shall stand up and applaud a real gentleman…a genuine laziale.
Gudio De Angelis
