Lazio, Pioli: "racist Howls in Prague? I heard more chants against the Italians"

The technical and the oxen of the Biancocelesti fans in Costa Europa League: "should be punished offenders, not a cheerleader entire"

UEFA has opened an investigation, Lazio has not yet publicly exhibited with official statements and so to speak again of the case Costa was Stefano Pioli, who told her about the racist boos turned to Sparta Prague player during the Europa League match. "These situations are not good for the sport and should be absolutely prohibited - said the coach in the press conference - it is easier to punish offenders not an entire fan base because I think we are talking about a small minority."

THE CONTROVERSY - The club does not risk immediate sanctions, because the hearing will be held only on March 22, when the second leg will be already played. In any case in its report on UEFA delegate spoke of "illicit banner, racist behavior and illicit choirs": heavy accusations, which, combined with the previous of 2013 (when England has already played one game behind closed doors and with the Curva Nord disqualified), may lead to a new disciplinary measure. Pegs, however, disagrees: "I repeat what I said after the game - said in the press conference - I have not felt this whole situation (reference to the howling, editor's note) and that's what I tried to also understand the referee in English. It should not be an excuse, but I felt more chants against Italians, I heard them in a clear way. "

TURNOVER - For the Lazio would be further blow in a season without great satisfaction, elimination in the preliminary round of the Champions League full of ups and downs. The Europa League, for Pioli, remained the ultimate goal, as evidenced by his words on the eve of the match against Atalanta: "We take only hurt to think about what we could do and put on the field, there are still ten games and the Europa League, we have to concentrate on what we can do and end of the season will pull the money. on Sunday I will make large turnover because of prague match was very expensive: it is useless to deny the importance of next Thursday's game: we started in 102 teams and we have the opportunity to remain in the top eight.
