This is so sad to read, exactly what is wrong with Italian football these days... for god's sake, Lazio just won the coppa and the supercoppa this year!!! Not only do Lazio fans (like most Italian fans) have little patience, they are also among the most violent!! Authorities to take strict measures against stuff like these, but this won't improve until the clubs start prosecuting their misbehaving fan groups....
Lazio Players Run For Cover As Angry Protestors Throw Bombs Into Training Ground - Report
Up to 200 angry Lazio fans are at the Formello training ground in protest against the club, according to the latest reports from Italy...
Lazio players have been forced to run for cover as 200 angry supporters stage a fiery protest outside the club's Formello training ground.
According to Sky Sport Italia, paper bombs and fireworks were thrown over the fence and into the ground causing a loud explosion, but there was no serious damage to players or buildings as they were at a distance from where the group of Ultras have gathered.
Lazio had begun training, but were forced to abandon the pitch as the force of the protests began to intensify. Some fans even tried to go on a rampage into the ground, but were forced back by police.
Further police have been drafted in to keep the situation under control, and to prevent any escalation of violence as tempers flare. The report claims everything is under control thus far, but the lively crowd have been chanting against club president Claudio Lotito, and coach Davide Ballardini.
The protests come in light of Lazio's poor form. They have not won a game since week two, leading fans to take inevitable action.
It is unknown as to how long the confrontation will last or whether the team will come back out to train ahead of tomorrow's game against Cagliari.
