“Sarri’s Lazio could surprise us pleasantly if…”. This is the enthusiastic Giuseppe Cruciani we met recently at Shada Beach Food Club in Civitanova Marche (Macerata) during the presentation of the book ‘Hypocrites’. A beautiful and interesting cultural event organized by Filosofarte 2025, the Festival of Free Thought conceived by the Councilor of Civitanova Marche, Gianluca Crocetti. Renowned journalist and radio host Giuseppe Cruciani (‘La Zanzara’) presented his book in a passionate and thought-provoking meeting, always with a provocative, ironic, and sharp tone. The cultural event, with the patronage of the Municipality of Civitanova Marche and Fondazione Marche Cultura, was hosted by Gianluca Crocetti, moderated by Andrea Agostini, president of the Foundation.

In the charming setting of Shada (an elegant location on the Civitanova seafront), among the guests were Francesco Acquaroli (President of the Marche Region), MEP Carlo Ciccioli, Fabrizio Ciarapica (Mayor of Civitanova Marche), Regional Councilor Pierpaolo Borroni, Gianluigi Tombolini (Mayor of Numana), and Antonio Sasa. The latter is a Master, Knight of Labor, and head of the cellar “Il Palagio” owned by Trudie & Sting. A great evening full of audience and emotions for the meeting with Giuseppe Cruciani. Councilor Crocetti repeatedly expressed his gratitude to everyone for the warm participation. Let’s now discover what Giuseppe Cruciani exclusively told us, with a particular focus on his beloved Lazio. Interview by journalist Daniele Bartocci.

“LAZIO STARTS WITH MARKET HANDICAP BUT CAN PROVIDE SOME POSITIVE SURPRISES IF COMPACT”: GIUSEPPE CRUCIANI SPEAKS

“Regarding Serie A 2025/26, I would say that Lazio starts with the handicap of an incomplete market. However, paradoxically, if the team consolidates, it can provide some positive surprises in my opinion. I honestly don’t understand all this skepticism. I mean, I understand it, but we need to stay united and support the team all the way through the season.” This is Cruciani’s thought on Maurizio Sarri‘s Lazio 2025/26.

“ALWAYS FORZA LAZIO. AM I A FAN OF CLAUDIO LOTITO AND MISTER MAURIZIO SARRI? I’M NOT A FAN OF ANYONE, I’M FOR STABILITY AND I SAY IF STABILITY IS LOTITO…”: GIUSEPPE CRUCIANI’S BATTLE CRY IN SHADA CIVITANOVA

“You ask me if I’m a fan of Lotito and Sarri? I tell you, I’m not a fan of Claudio Lotito. I’m not a fan of anyone, I repeat. I’m for stability. For now, stability is Claudio Lotito. If tomorrow there will be someone else, stability will be someone else…” Giuseppe, is Mister Maurizio Sarri ‘The Commander’ the right man on the sidelines for Lazio? I don’t know…” was Cruciani’s quick response, in his usual style. Finally, a quip about Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma. In your opinion, Giuseppe, will it be harder for Gasperini to do in Rome, a very demanding place, what he did in Bergamo? “I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t talk about Roma…” Great bond and loyalty to the biancocelesti colors for Cruciani…

We had also met the well-known journalist and radio host ‘La Zanzara’ in the past months, in the vicinity of the last Christmas period, always in Civitanova, Marche. Here is what he had told us exclusively on our microphones.

CRUCIANI: “NUNO TAVARES GREAT FOOTBALLER. MISTER JOSE MOURINHO IN THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY? I DON’T MISS HIM AT ALL…”

You, a VIP Lazio fan… do you think Nuno Taveres could be considered the signing of the year in Serie A (2024/25, ed)? “Perhaps, yes. Nuno Tavares represents, in my opinion, a great player and I would say he is doing very well, showing excellent qualities.” Many have criticized owner Claudio Lotito in recent years. Is he, in your opinion, the true architect of this good moment for Lazio? “The real architect? I don’t know. But I’m a fan of Claudio Lotito and the claim is always the same: always Forza Lazio, long live the biancocelesti colors.”

You ironically supported in the past that journalist and TV host Emilio Fede switched from being a Juventus fan to being an AC Milan fan solely and exclusively for a matter of ‘money’… “I said that money had its part in that sense”.

So, another joke, we ask you: if Roma offered you money to become a supporter, would you accept the ‘enticing’ Giallorossi proposal? “Are you crazy? How could you even think about it? Come on, always maximum Lazio faith. Never and ever with Roma. Lazio forever…” So you would never ever abandon the Lazio faith? “Are you so crazy? Never and ever, I will always repeat it…”

“JOSE MOURINHO AND ROBERTO MANCINI IN ITALY I DON’T MISS THEM…”: CRUCIANI IRONIC AND SHARP AS ALWAYS

Staying in Rome, do you miss José Mourinho ‘Special One’ in Italy, in Serie A? “No, absolutely not. I don’t miss Mou at all”. And instead, would you see Roberto Mancini well in Serie A? Would you like to see him, maybe in the near future, on the bench of Roma or other prestigious clubs? “Do I miss Mancini in Serie A? I would say no. Like José Mourinho, I have no nostalgia for Roberto Mancini in Italy. In the sense that at this precise moment, I would say I don’t miss anyone, especially in our Serie A.” These are some statements made by Cruciani exclusively to our microphones last December. On that occasion, Cruciani spoke at the Council Chamber (Comune Civitanova) about his book ‘Via Crux. Against Political Correctness’ which has certainly received considerable appreciation. Good Serie A 2025/26 to everyone.

Lazio, injury alert: muscle strain for Tavares?

La Lazio è in emergenza e, su questo, nemmeno lo stesso Maurizio Sarri si è nascosto.

Oltre a Pellegrini, Castellanos, Cancellieri, Rovella e Gigot potrebbe aggiungersi anche Tavares. Il rischio più concreto per il terzino portoghese potrebbe essere uno strappo.

Se il tecnico toscano sperava di poter avere certezze in difesa, in questo momento risulta molto difficile averne.

Per quanto riguarda la gara contro la Juventus, oggi Luca Pellegrini farà un test, dato che è alle prese con un edema a un ginocchio.

Isaksen prenderà il posto di Cancellieri, Dia sostituirà nuovamente Castellanos e per il resto la formazione sarà la stessa delle scorse giornate.

Lazio, Tavares calato di rendimento

L’ultimo assist con i biancocelesti è arrivato contro la Real Sociedad in Europa League, lo scorso 23 gennaio.

In Serie A, invece, è persino più remoto: 31 ottobre 2024, contro il Como. Quasi un anno senza assist in campionato.

Lo stesso giocatore che, appena arrivato, era diventato una vera e propria macchina da assist. Naturalmente si è trattata di una grande overperformance, ma è un dato che ad ogni modo stupisce.

Difficile si possa tornare a qualcosa di simile in breve tempo. In questo momento la Lazio si trova al 12esimo posto in classifica.

Risultato altamente sotto le aspettative, ma con il blocco mercato e gli infortuni di certo Sarri non sta vivendo una stagione semplice.

Milan-Pisa: Possible Line-ups and Where to Watch

AC Milan vs. Pisa will open matchday eight of Serie A. The San Siro match will take place tomorrow evening at 8:45 PM.

Matchday eight of Serie A kicks off, with the clash between AC Milan and Pisa headlining the fixtures.

The Rossoneri are top of the table with 16 points, while the Tuscan Nerazzurri are at the bottom with just three points.

It’s a classic top-bottom showdown, with two teams motivated by very different factors.

After a hectic European week, AC Milan restart their league campaign at home.

Following the victory over Fiorentina, Allegri’s men are looking for another win to temporarily extend their lead at the top.

The keyword, however, is humility, considering an opponent significantly inferior to the Rossoneri, but equally determined.

The Tuscan coach may give De Winter a starting spot in defense.

The same fate seems to await Ricci, who is likely to start in midfield alongside Fofana and Modric.

Finally, the attack will be led by Gimenez, with Leao supporting the Mexican.

Pisa’s Lineup

The Pisa team’s position is cause for concern, with just three points from the first seven games.

This poor performance reflects their last-place standing, highlighted by a 0-0 draw in the last round against Hellas Verona.

The offensive struggles of the Tuscans are evident, but Alberto Gilardino remains confident and sticks with Nzola up front.

The former Spezia player will be partnered in attack by Moreo, while the midfield likely to face San Siro will consist of Akinsanmiro, Marin, and Aebischer, with Toure and Leris on the flanks.

In goal, Semper retains his spot, supported by a defense of Canestrelli, Albiol, and Caracciolo.

Possible Lineups

AC Milan (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Leao, Gimenez. Coach: Massimiliano Allegri

Pisa (3-5-1-1): Semper; Canestrelli, Albiol, Caracciolo; Tourè, Akinsamiro, Aebischer, Marin, Leris; Moreo; Nzola. Coach: Alberto Gilardino

Parma, something still isn’t right: Tardini the only certainty

The Parma is preparing for the home match against Como scheduled for Saturday at 3 PM. After the draw at Marassi, doubts have emerged about referees and motivations.

The controversies following the expulsion of Ndiaye, which heavily influenced the match against Genoa, have almost justified the performance of Cuesta’s men. Despite the incident, the team’s reaction was not seen, and in the end, they almost suffered a defeat.

Parma, lacking continuity: the next opponent is Como

Six points in 7 games and several relegation clashes already closed, this is the start of the season for the Crociati team that came out unscathed at Marassi despite almost an hour with one man down. In the end, Suzuki’s saved penalty was a reflection of the decidedly below-par performance of Pellegrino and his teammates.

It is true that such a delicate away game requires a defensive attitude, especially with one man down, however, Ndiaye’s expulsion came in the 42nd minute (surrounded by heated debates on the severity of the foul that led to the first yellow for the yellow-blue defender) and until that moment, Parma had not shown a great performance. The home team had already taken control from the start, and the statistics after the first 45 minutes, including total shots (7), possession (56% vs 44%), and expected goals (0.39 vs 0.05), showed that the match was already an uphill battle.

It is known that Genoa at home is a beast and gives very little space to opponents, especially in a relegation clash, and a countermeasure in this sense had not yet been revealed. Cuesta then had to completely change the lineup in the second half with the exit of Almqvist, one of the main offensive threats, and the entry of Ordonez.

A team lacking energy

The second 45 minutes saw the Grifone attack with all their energies to find a goal that would have been worth its weight in gold. Instead, a great Suzuki prevented Ekhator and his teammates from taking home the 3 points. The defeat against Lecce seems to have suddenly extinguished the fire that was lit by the victory against Torino a few weeks ago.

The opportunity to redeem themselves is just around the corner, and against Como, it will be mandatory to take advantage of the Tardini factor, which was decisive in terms of points against Atalanta and the Granata. Pellegrino must find the joy of scoring, as well as Cutrone, but the rest of the team is also called upon to show their desire for victory. Bernabé continues to show great plays but still lacks effectiveness in the final third, as do Almqvist and Britscghi.
