Tommaso Rocchi has received no support from Lazio GM Claudio Lotito following the striker's complaining of his lack of first team action. The good form of Mauro Zarate has left Rocchi to start most matches recently on the bench.

Rocchi spoke out about his disappointment after the weekend clash with Genoa, but Lotito offered little sympathy when commenting yesterday.

"The Coach picks the team and Delio Rossi has the greatest respect from the directors.

"Rossi takes into account the technical needs of every player and all the players have to adapt to the formation.

"Some individuals may not share the belief in his choices, but all they have to do is give their best on the pitch."
