12.40 – Luca Gotticoach of Lecce, in a few minutes will present the match against Sassuolo to the microphones of the press room.
12.48 – The conference begins.
What game will it be? Last resort for Sassuolo?
“More or less the conditions are the same as Lecce-Empoli. I’m focused on us, on our ranking, on what we have to do. Sassuolo has quality and dribbling ability, players who need to be defended as a team.”
There will be no Ramadani.
“We have various solutions available. Remaining more or less as we have been in these matches or playing three in midfield… these are things that can happen within the match.”
Could Dorgu be a midfielder?
“He has the ability to play in various parts of the field. He can do it, but we are on matchday number 33 and I have role midfielders. I will try to put the players at ease. I don’t want to invent.”
Banda is also significantly absent.
“It’s very sorry. He is among the key players of Lecce…”.
The guest sector will be sold out.
“On Monday I treated myself to a tour of Salento. A lot of people said to me ‘see you on Sunday’. How many people will follow us… it’s nice, we have a certain responsibility.”
Could Piccoli and Krstovic play together?
“I will try to choose the best. There is a game that is starting and one that is in progress.”
What is the survival rate?
“Last week’s results were sensational. The seven teams in the running are all alive. All the coaches have the belief that they can save themselves and the awareness that it will be tough. The survival quota depends a lot on the survival battles. At 32 points, Lecce is certainly not safe because it means defeat against Sassuolo, Udinese and Cagliari. It could be between 34 and 36 points, but these are journalistic projections. I don’t talk about it in the locker room, it would be a big mistake.”
