🔗 Share this article Cancellieri Shows Glimpses of Genius in Positive Aspect for Unstable Lazio The mood at their home stadium was far from happy on Saturday afternoon. Lazio were trailing against Torino, a team that had let in ten goals while netting just two in their previous five league matches. Supporters from the Curva Nord were concluding their ongoing dissent in a continuous dispute with president Claudio Lotito. The Campaign Coming Unstitched? Was the team's progress unraveling, or did there exist any cohesion holding it together to start with? Lazio reinstated Maurizio Sarri to lead the team during the off-season, but then he publicly stated that the management had omitted to inform him about a registration embargo they were set to be hit with for accounting issues. Speculation that he might quit were not true, but he acknowledged that Lotito had "deceived" him. The Roman club appeared equally disorganized in their performances as they were off it, defeating Verona 4-0 and Genoa 3-0 but losing the remaining opening fixtures, which included the capital clash. Throughout this period, it has been hard to tell if progress is being made or collapsing. The Youngster's Surprising Return One individual continued to smile throughout. Matteo Cancellieri was not even supposed to feature for Lazio this year. He completed last season on loan at Parma and, during the summer break, his owning club were advocating for him to stay there for another season. The registration embargo necessitated a reconsideration. Lazio could not afford to reduce their roster with no new signings. He signed originally during Sarri's previous tenure, at that time a 20-year-old alumnus of Verona's academy. He made 20 matches in the league with the club in that campaign, all but one of those from the bench. The club's longtime sporting director, Igli Tare, who left after that campaign, would later accuse Sarri of "informing all Cancellieri would be a star only to bench him consistently." Uncovering His True Position It's possible the coach was continuing to attempt to determine the exact type of Cancellieri's abilities. Originally described as a flank player upon signing, Cancellieri nevertheless spent the majority of that term as an unconvincing alternative to Ciro Immobile at No 9. Across 63 games during spells with Empoli and Parma in the past two years, he scored seven times. Shoehorn
