Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri has hit out at the Supercoppa final four format.
Lazio will meet Inter Milan on Friday, with Fiorentina to face Napoli in the Riyadh based mini tournament.
Sarri said: Everyone knows what I think, that this tournament is about anything other than sport. You take the money and run.
We take all that we can in this short-sighted manner. We go around the world begging for money. With all the problems that there are with crowded fixture lists, we then set up a four-team Supercoppa.
If modern football is this type of evolution, then I am glad to be old-fashioned.
The Supercoppa is a trophy used by a coach to say he won something, it doesn't help the club to grow. I would like to win something that helps the club too.
Having said all of that, we are going to travel 6,000km, so we'll do the best we can."
