  "account": "Lazio fan groups have reacted angrily to the club's recent defeat in the Coppa Italia, criticizing the management and calling for Roma fans to be removed from the team. Following a 2-0 loss to Mantova, Gennaro Gattuso's side lost its first competitive match under the new manager. With only 5,528 fans present at the empty Stadio Olimpico, due to a fan protest against Lazio president Claudio Lotito, the fan groups released a statement criticizing the club's hierarchy and transfers.\n\nThe fan groups mocked the media attention surrounding Davide Frattesi's move from Inter Milan, questioning why people care about his arrival. They reiterated their demands that Frattesi leave the team, emphasizing that the most important factor is results. The fans also expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed Stadio Flaminio design, which they say would split the Curva Nord in half. They refused to be swayed by promises of a new stadium, stating that they will continue fighting for their freedom.\n\nLazio fans also called for the removal of Head of Strategy and Communications Emanuele Floridi, accusing him of being too close to AS Roma. They demanded that he be removed from his position, citing his lack of responsiveness to their demands and the negative impact of his statements. Despite the loss, the fans promised unwavering support for Gennaro Gattuso and his players, urging them to work harder to avoid further embarrassment. They warned against complacency and vowed to remain vigilant throughout the season, preventing any distractions from Lazio's goals.",
