Eusebio Di Francesco said he couldn't feel happy after Lecce's defeat against Genoa, in which the team was eliminated. The coach underlined that, although the performances are present, the results are lacking and that he himself takes responsibility for better understanding the dynamics of the game. “It's not enough to react, you have to have a greater impact on the matches,” he said, recalling that only a fortnight ago the team seemed “phenomenal” and that some comments were “crazy”. Di Francesco reiterated that the levels are revealed only in the long term and that it is necessary to fight to the end for salvation.
The president expressed hope of recovering Coulibaly and Geubbels, while Monteiro is considered difficult to recover due to a muscle problem. "It's been a difficult week that has brought us back to the reality of our values. We need to raise the bar," he added.
After the defeat, Lecce finds itself in a delicate position in the Serie A standings and must reorganize itself to avoid relegation. The club is now focused on improving performance and managing human resources, with the aim of becoming competitive again in the next matches. Lecce's next match will be crucial to evaluate whether the changes made by the coach will lead to better results.
