Alexis Blin he spoke at a press conference afterwards Lecce-Udinese.
From D’Aversa to Gotti
In my head I think that I have to give my best every day, being a coach is difficult, 11 play and sometimes 5 or even less come off the bench. I have always been on Mr. D’Aversa’s side, I gave my all with him, I had respect for his choices. I wanted to play more, but I always made myself available to the group. Gotti gave me the chance to play more. I’m happy to have found continuity.
The defeat against Udinese and a personal balance
The season isn’t over. We’re sorry for the defeat, we wanted to win in front of our fans. We started well, then the pace dropped. I don’t like to talk about myself much, I’ve always had this spirit in my career, I’ve always made myself available to the team, every day I want to look at myself in the mirror and say I gave my best.
They have been three incredible years to live, each year has brought with it very beautiful moments. Celebrating doesn’t last long, work lasts a long time, that’s how I see things. After the match that Milan won we celebrated a bit but I went home quickly. I can’t celebrate too much because I think about the next games and I think that next year will be difficult too. We are happy to be safe but there are still two big games to play, we have to give our fans a victory at home and we want to try to do so on Saturday against Atalanta.
Change module
We created more chances, suffering less defensively. We were good at not conceding goals in many games. It’s not just the formation that has changed everything, but also the general attitude of the team. With two strikers you create more opportunities, this leads you to play with more confidence.
The fans
The match in Sassuolo reminded me of the one against Monza. Today we weren’t able to secure the victory but the support from them has never been lacking.
Game of the turning point
Salernitana-Lecce, we suffered a lot there, it was a heartfelt victory. There I realized that we would be saved. We found confidence again and raised the team level.
Future
I live from day to day without looking too far ahead, I will talk about it with the club, there is one year left on the contract. The club comes first before me, this season in difficult moments the whole club has never put pressure on us, the group feels this. They know that we work hard every day with the right attitude. I would be happy to play for many years here, but the club comes first.
This salvation means a lot, Lecce doesn’t work like other clubs, they invest in unknown foreigners, it’s a different method from many teams that spend a lot. Lecce works on the growth of players, making them understand the importance of the shirt. Here I experienced three wonderful seasons, to save yourself in Serie A you need quality but you need the group and the club was good at creating groups with men who wanted to do their best for Salento.
