The Biancocelesti found themselves behind against Torino, a team that had conceded 10 goals while scoring only two in their most recent five league matches. Ultras from the Curva Nord were concluding their ongoing dissent in a continuous dispute with president Claudio Lotito. A Season Coming Unstitched? Had their campaign unraveling, or had there never been a thread holding it together to start with? Lazio reinstated Maurizio Sarri as head coach in the summer transfer window, only for him admitted that the board had failed to disclose a registration embargo they were set to be hit with for accounting issues. Rumours that he might quit were unfounded, but he did say that Lotito had "swindled" him. Lazio became as messy in their performances as they were off it, defeating Verona 4-0 and Genoa 3-0 but losing the remaining opening fixtures, featuring the derby della Capitale. At any given moment, it has been hard to tell if they are improving or collapsing. Cancellieri's Unforeseen Return At least one man continued to smile amid the chaos. Matteo Cancellieri wasn't originally meant to feature for Lazio during this campaign. He completed last season with Parma on loan and, during the summer break, his owning club were advocating for him to remain there for another season. The signing restriction necessitated a reconsideration. The club couldn't risk to reduce their roster without replacements. He signed initially under Sarri's first spell, at that time a 20-year-old product of Verona's academy. He recorded 20 matches in the league with the club in that campaign, all but one of those from the bench. Their former sporting director, Igli Tare, who departed after that campaign, subsequently claimed Sarri of "telling everyone Cancellieri had superstar potential but then not selecting him." Discovering His True Position Perhaps the manager was persistently working to identify the nature of his skill set. Originally described as a wide forward when he joined, Cancellieri instead found himself most of that campaign as a struggling deputy to Ciro Immobile at No 9. In 63 appearances on loan at Empoli and Parma over the last two seasons, he netted seven goals. Shoehorn
