"Lazio" president Claudio Lotito was infuriated by reports that the club's player Joseph Minala falsified his age. According to the press, the Cameroonian is not 17 years old, but rather double that age - most likely over 40 years old. "This man has endured so much and has become a victim of a crazy system. Life has sent him various trials," the manager said. "They say the player looks like a 40-year-old. Can you tell when a person of that age could withstand the pace of a match?" Lotito rhetorically asked. "We are ready to take action to defend the good name of the club and the player." Internet users also doubt J. Minala's age.
