Lecce president Sticchi Damiani wanted contemporaneity in the match against Udinese, states that he is surprised by president Corsi’s statements, and that he has excellent relations with Empoli, but perhaps a moment of stress can lead to a lack of clarity. He continues by saying that the Empoli president’s statements are serious, and that in addition to personal regret he believes they must lead to something. The statements are reported below:
“(…)Compared to other presidents, perhaps I have less media strength to raise my voice and determine. There’s no time to feel sorry for ourselves, the match against Rome it must be an opportunity, this week must be lived seeking physical and mental resources. Let’s focus our attention on this match, everything else can distract us. AND maybe on the last day everything will balance out (…)”.
Lecce’s no.1 continues to state that when Lecce-Udinese was scheduled as a postponement, the League called “asking for contemporaneity, because this must be the spirit“. He continues with “I’m not afraid of being proven wrong, I myself had asked for contemporaneity, then we celebrated salvation without taking the field. The team did their part, but 24 hours earlier we had achieved our objective, some players are unable to keep the tension high, otherwise we would have to scrutinize every result. I don’t want to cause controversy, but (Corsi’s) statements are imprudent.”
On salvation and coach Gotti
The President says: “From a management point of view I am very satisfied. The amount of wages is limited, the lowest in Serie A. The club has made investments in purchasing the cards of its players, we don’t like taking players on loan, training them and sending them back to the parent company. In these terms, combining sporting and economic results is excellent.” He concludes by saying that Gotti will meet Corvino and Trinchera soon but I believe the plans of the club and the coach can coincide.
