EusebioDiFrancesco closed yesterday's press conference with a comment that attracted the attention of Lecce fans: "Nowadays they don't even give the penalties that exist...". The coach expressed his opinion on the next match against Frosinone, highlighting the characteristics of the latter and the need to adapt the formation.
Frosinone, according to DiFrancesco, is a team that plays vertically, with limited possession but capable of creating dangerous opportunities in transition. "They are an immediate team in transitions and difficult to contain. On the outside they have two quality attackers in one-on-one situations", underlined the presenter. Lecce, in fact, needs to exploit its defensive potential and exploit transitions to counterattack.
The coach then spoke about the situation of the key players. TiagoGabriel didn't train and had a small injury, while Ndaba isn't at his best. “We will evaluate tomorrow morning,” said DiFrancesco, also referring to N'Dri, who had a foot problem, and Fatah, who suffered a blow to the shin. “These are problems linked to game clashes,” he added, underlining the need to find the best formation in view of the match against Genoa.
DiFrancesco also commented on the new championship rules, which have led to an increase in injuries. “I don't see a correlation, there is certainly more effective time,” said the coach, highlighting that the competitive level has risen. “We must be ready to undergo certain types of intervention,” he concluded.
Lecce, who have already suffered a series of injuries, will have to face the match against Frosinone with a slightly compromised squad. The coach declared that the team is assimilating new strategies and that the next match will be an opportunity to put these ideas into play. The result of the match could influence the position in the standings and prepare the club for the next challenges, including the match with Genoa.
