Juventus chief Marotta turns on Lazio president Lotito

Juventus GM Beppe Marotta has launched an unprovoked attack at Lazio president Claudio Lotito.

Lotito was the main push behind the election of controversial new FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio.

"I hope this Presidency can bring about reforms, although so far I've heard many words and seen little action," Marotta told Rai Sport.

"I hear talk of people owning multiple clubs, but not of reserve teams to get players on the pitch regularly. These are issues pushed forward by directors who know little about football.

"Juventus are available and encourage reforms, but the important thing is to be listened to and so far nobody has asked us anything."

When asked about Lotito, the Bianconeri director general was concerned.

"He has extremes of power and when one person has all that power we all risk falling into the abyss."
