After the 1-2 defeat against Genoa, coach EusebioDiFrancesco spoke to DAZN to analyze Lecce's performance. In his speech he underlined that, although the team has shown heart, it lacks quality in final decisions, especially in the attacking phase. The coach described the players as "deadly", highlighting that the lack of incisiveness cost Lecce the victory.
DiFrancesco's comment focused on the role of the forwards. He expressed frustration at their inability to unlock the opposition's goal, stating that "my attackers didn't unlock the lock and we're paying for that." He also specified that, despite Stulic's disallowed goal, the team was unable to capitalize on the opportunities created. “After the goal we didn't make great readings, we need to be better,” he declared, recalling that the first goal was the result of a clearance error, while the second was the result of a lateral foul.
DiFrancesco also highlighted the need to be more dangerous and incisive in the future. "We have to work and improve. Even the first goal comes from our incorrect disengagement, the second from a lateral foul and you find yourself two goals down", he explained, underlining that the team reacted with head, heart and right thinking but failed to materialize the opportunities. He added that Stulic was unlucky with the goal, but still asked not to neglect the importance of the attack.
In the coach's story, reference is also made to the performance of Stulic, who scored three quality goals in a match in which his team was behind. DiFrancesco reiterated that all the other teams' attackers are scoring, while Lecce is unable to do so, and underlined the importance of this aspect in competitions. In conclusion, the coach asked the group to improve the quality of decisions and increase offensive effectiveness to avoid paying the price for a lack of goals.
