Lazio president Claudio Lotito feels he's brought the club together.

Lotito was speaking at the 50th anniversary of their 1974 Scudetto triumph.

“Until a little while ago, Lazio were a marginalised outcast, but since I have been President, the club has taken on a prominent role, it has its say and even makes decisions," Lotito told ANSA.

“One time we were the feeder club to Juventus, who came and took players from us. Instead, this summer we signed two players from them and that had never happened before.

“I have given this club prospects for the future, teaching my son what it means to be Laziale. We hope to maintain a place in the Champions League.

“This initiative is important because it brings Lazio into the institutions. It all goes through the institutions, which are fundamental to avoid the deception that there was in the past."

Lotito also enjoyed a dig at Roma.

“Romanisti are loud, braggards and boors. We are the exact opposite. We show that Lazio is a different way of living."
