Rossi: Lazio in Crisis?

Lazio coach Delio Rossi insists they are not in a crisis despite yesterday's defeat at Fiorentina marking their fourth consecutive loss.
Sunday's 1-0 slip in Florence saw the Biancoceleste drop to 11th in the Serie A standings.
Rossi, who had not experienced such a poor run of results since joining the Roman outfit in 2005, admitted his team were unlucky.
Alberto Gilardino's goal deep in injury time handed Fiorentina all three points.
"Football is cruel," Rossi said.
"It will not be the first time nor the last time that I have to talk about a game that we lost but we deserved to win.
"Our performance was good and we controlled the game despite playing for almost the entire game down to 10 men."
Lazio had Lorenzo de Silvestri sent off after 15 minutes but kept Fiorentina out until late in the game.
"I am happy with the character and determination shown by my players," Rossi said.
"I think this proves that this is not a team in crisis.
"We need to use that convincing performances to bounce back.
"This time it went badly for us but if we continue like this, the future can only be positive."
Lazio did show a slight improvement on Sunday with respect to their previous games.
The Biancoceleste have given away 11 goals in their last four games while only finding the net twice, figures that have concerned the club fans.
Lazio are nine points behind neighbours Roma, who hold the last European qualifying spot, and host Torino next weekend.
