Working Monday doesn’t slow down the desire to Lecce of the Salento people. It was feared that the fact of playing against Udinese on a weekday, at 6.30 pm at that, could discourage the Giallorossi supporters, especially those coming from the province and municipalities of Brindisino and Tarantino. The response, however, was extraordinary, underlines the Puglia newspaper.
In fact, up until yesterday evening around 5 thousand tickets had already been sold and considering that there are still many days that separate the battle-to-salvation with the Friulians, it is to be believed that on Monday the Via del Mare will present an extraordinary sight thanks also in the presence of 21,247 subscribers. However, there will not be a full house in the Guest sector where, at the moment, there are only 150 presences. In this case, the weekday, the inconvenient time and the distance certainly played a decisive role.
Meanwhile, coach Luca Gotti’s team, after enjoying two days of well-deserved rest post-Cagliari, resumed training yesterday afternoon at the headquarters of the Acaya Golf Resort. Valentin Gendrey and Nicola Sansone followed a personalized work program, the latter due to a muscular problem. Their conditions will be monitored during the week by the Lecce healthcare staff led by Dr. Giuseppe Congedo. Captain Alexis Blin will continue training today with an afternoon session scheduled on the turf of the Via del Mare stadium.
