The President of the Lecce, Saverio Sticchi Damiani, spoke after the challenge drawn by the Giallorossi against Parma, decided in a dramatic way at the end of the match. “It’s a match that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth” – his words reported by Pianeta Lecce – “conceding two goals in the five minutes of injury time is disappointing. It’s a price you pay because of the young age of this team that clearly showed its inexperience a bit in the final 5 minutes. It would have been enough to manage a bit better but in the end this young age then leads us in many moments of the match to be particularly free, fresh and physically also exuberant. Today we paid a high price due to inexperience because the management of the final part of the match we had many opportunities to direct it in another way”.
Lots of opportunities to close the game.
“Yes, or if you really have to waste them at least use them to gain time, let’s say we managed to waste the opportunities without even letting the time pass particularly. These are really the sins of youth and this team has in its youth its many strengths and some flaws. And like tonight this leads us to pay a high price. It’s okay, we have to be good at turning the page because it’s unpleasant to draw a match like that.
Great first half from the boys.
“Yes, it was a good first half, many important indications, also some things to improve. I have to say that we cannot afford to remain with ten men due to an expulsion, I want to see it again, but it seemed to me like an expulsion that a team like that cannot afford. It is not a game-related expulsion, it is not an expulsion resulting from the game but like this it is a luxury that Lecce cannot grant”.
