There are now only three days that separate us from the end of the Spring 1 regular season, while then the final phase awaits us to decide the winning team of this edition among the six in the Playoff zone. From now until the end of the championship, each match becomes fundamental to consolidate and achieve one’s goals… or at least to try. After the salvation achieved by Empoli last day, this weekend another team also managed to obtain another important goal with three days to go. We’re talking about Lecce, who, thanks to the 1-1 away draw against Cagliari, will also be part of the Primavera 1 championship next season. In fact, it is now arithmetically impossible for the Apulian team to finish the competition in last place.
But what were the words of Lecce president Saverio Sticchi Damiani and what has been the performance of the Salento players during this season? Let’s discover them together.
The president’s pride
The president of Lecce, Saverio Sticchi Damianiafter the 1-1 draw against Cagliari, wanted to contribute to the celebrations for the arithmetic salvation through a post on Facebookthrough which he wanted highlight the importance of this result and thank all the protagonists of this year: “Today the spring is mathematically safe and will also participate in the Primavera 1 championship next year (we are momentarily equal on points with Juventus and Fiorentina). It is an important and by no means trivial result, also for the Italian champion team, because we have had to face a small revolution due to a “sudden” change of rules. I never take anything for granted and I am proud again this year of the result achieved. To our players who have honored our shirt every day, in every match, in every training, to Mister Coppitelli, to his staff, to the technical and medical collaborators, to the managers, to the secretaries, to the warehouse workers, a huge thank you, as always, to Pantaleo Corvino for the great work and to our Fabio Piluso and Giovanni De Toma. for the precious support. Next year it will be Giallorossi spring.”
A season…complicated
At the beginning of the season, expectations on Lecce were very high…perhaps too much so. However, the Salento team had already demonstrated that they were up to this challenge by championing it, winning it last season. Because of a “sudden” (as president Damiani called it) due to a change in rules, the Apulian team he had difficulties during the competition, but managed to save himself thanks to the 36 points obtained. 9 wins, 9 draws and 13 defeats, these are the current numbers for the Giallorossi, who however find themselves equal on points with Juventus (who have a game less) and Fiorentina.
