Wladimiro Falcone conceded two goals last night and failed to keep a clean sheet in the match against Udinese, a match which for Lecce only served to improve their league statistics.
Last season’s record
In fact, in an interview released some time ago, the Giallorossi goalkeeper spoke about objective seventh clean sheet. Last year, with Marco Baroni on the bench, Lecce managed to keep a clean sheet on 6 occasions: against Spezia in both the first leg and the second leg, and then against Monza, Sampdoria, Cremonese and Udinese. The goalkeeper played them all last season and in the end he said he was satisfied with his performance and the overall performance of the defensive department, which was also able to count on a champion like Samuel Umtiti.
The situation in this championship
This season Falcone has once again achieved 6 clean sheets, thanks to his saves and the good defensive organization demonstrated against Genoa and Salernitana with D’Aversa on the bench and Roma, Sassuolo, Empoli and Salernitana again with the arrival of Mr. Gotti. The Venetian coach restored balance to the team, adopting a game system more suited to the interpreters available at the time and deploying Alexis Blin, a true washer of dirty balls, in the center of the pitch.
Two games to reach the goal
Now the matches against Atalanta and Napoli, two difficult matches in which Lecce will have to try to gain useful points for their ranking, perhaps trying to maintain thirteenth place in the standings. Falcone, for his part, will try to improve his clean sheet figure in every way. Achieving 7 clean sheets in Serie A would be a great satisfaction for the Giallorossi goalkeeper, who in any case had a season to remember.
