Krstovic beams at the microphones of Piazza Giallorossa, the Tele Rama broadcast, analyzing Lecce’s moment and his in particular. And it couldn’t be otherwise. Lecce, by beating Sassuolo, put some distance between themselves and the danger zone. 7 points behind Frosinone, they are not safe, but they have taken a big step towards their goal. Now there are five races left and the battle for survival is in full swing. Lecce, as Mister Gotti said, has the great advantage of being masters of its destiny.
A look at the match against Sassuolo. The center forward had no hesitations: «A beautiful victory». A match where Lecce dominated and where the Montenegrin was decisive. For the scores for the assist to make it 3-0, but in reality he did much more. He gave depth to the team, remaining compact on the forward line with his teammate Piccoli. «The match was beautiful from the start. We played by implementing what Gotti asks of us, his style. We immediately went up 1-0 and after a few minutes we doubled the lead. We are happy because we managed to give the fans what they gave to us, in this way we reciprocated their affection and positivity.”
Krstovic then analyzed the action in which he was the protagonist: «It was a beautiful restart that gave me the opportunity to assist Piccoli to make it 3-0. Then our job was to manage the match and we did it. We went up as a group and moved as a team. In the end, celebrating in front of all those fans was wonderful. Now we are focused on the new match against Monza where we hope to do equally well.” We also talked about the formation, since Gotti arrived Lecce has played consistently with two strikers: «I like it, Piccoli and I have the right characteristics. He prefers to move forward while I like to retreat. We often exchange each other and this movement of ours can bring benefits to both of us. I like the new coach’s style.”
A look at his arrival in Lecce. Krstovic revealed some background: «At the beginning I was contacted by director Corvino. I had three or four interviews but I had already spoken about it with Mirko Vucinic, the Montenegro assistant coach. Then I also spoke with Jovetic, who had also discovered Corvino, so I had received excellent reviews about the city. I chose Lecce also in the face of other offers. Being catapulted into this new reality, with a goal just two minutes after my arrival with Fiorentina, and then with Salernitana and Sassuolo, fixed things. Everything went fine. But now we have to think about the challenges with Monza and Cagliari. And then to the others.” Against Monza, comes the match that could consecrate the season: «We won two matches, we want to continue, we want to win the third. It reminds me of the match against Roma where we played very well and created a lot. It will be a good match that we will play in front of our fans. I say to them: come to Via del Mare on Saturday, we will win.”
