CLASSIFICATION

EVE

“A match that reserves more or less similar responses to the one played against Empoli. I’m not thinking about the opponents but about the type of match we have to play: it’s an important match and we need to stay on top of things.” Luca Gotti, Lecce coach, thus presents the challenge on the Sassuolo pitch, an authentic play-off in the difficult path towards salvation. A complicated opponent, with very heavy stakes: “Sassuolo is a team with quality and dribbling ability – continues the Giallorossi coach -. They have elements who are good at one on one and must defend as a team. And a lot will depend on how the result will evolve.” Accompanying the eve of this challenge is a less than rosy health situation, with important defections that will bring changes to the tactical scene. In addition to Almqvist being disqualified, and Banda out until the end of the season due to an imminent knee operation, Gotti will also have to miss out on midfielder Ramadani, who is blocked by an annoying pharyngitis. “We have various solutions to replace him – declared Gotti -. We can remain with the structure of these first matches, or play with a three-man midfield: and this second possibility can be done during the match”. On the survival quota, which may have risen after what happened on the last day, Gotti sees it like this: “Last week’s results, some sensational, make us think that the seven teams that are fighting for survival are all very much alive. Lecce at 32 points cannot be saved, and the direct clashes will also be decisive in terms of survival quota: but these are more journalistic discussions, while on the pitch it is necessary to remain focused on what needs to be done.” Finally, a word on the Giallorossi fans, who were also massively present at the Mapei Stadium with around 4000 tickets issued in the away section: “Last Monday I took a trip to visit Salento – concludes Gotti – and in the towns where I stopped many people have arranged to meet me in Reggio Emilia. I have been informed of the people who will be present tomorrow, with many people also leaving from here. On the one hand, this is very nice, but on the other it increases our responsibility towards them even more “.
