Lecce, Giampaolo’s first: a lot of luck and a tactical breakthrough in the second half

Lecce needed a positive result to start a new journey in the best possible way and the three points from the Penzo stadium represent a hand from heaven. Giampaolo started in the best way possible by winning at Venezia, after a match of great suffering for over a period of time. The new coach of the Salento team didn’t touch anything in the starting eleven, proposing a game system and men already seen with Gotti. Following a very difficult first part, which ended in a draw by pure chance, in the second half the new technical guide put his hand to the team’s gears and with great tactical intuition corrected the shot.

Falcone and fate keep the Giallorossi afloat.
The number 30 was the man of the match by virtue of at least three decisive saves. Di Francesco’s team was both uncynical and unlucky, they certainly deserved the advantage; instead, after the sixtieth minute she found herself having to review her certainties following a change in the opponents’ game system. Checkmate in favor of Lecce: the transition to 3-4-3 changed the balance of the match and Dorgu’s goal put the match on a track favorable to the guests.

New course and many surprises.
The starting eleven is linear, the running moves are surprising. The three-man defense is an absolute novelty, as is the presence on the pitch of Helgason, who was not on the list until last weekend. A more than positive takeover for Jean and a response also came from Rebic. Everyone expected Krstovic to be more confident after his hat-trick against Turkey, but it is the former AC Milan player who sends a signal from Venice. Lecce is there, they need to work and the ranking allows them to do so.
