After the mistake in the 90th minute, when Lecce were leading 2-0 against Parma, who then equalised in injury time, the Giallorossi’s attention is now focused on the reaction of Nikola Krstovića striker who had found the goal but who failed to deliver the knockout blow. In his press conference on the eve of the match against Milan, the Salento coach, Luke Gottialso spoke about his number 9: “He’s not sick. Episodes happen. Yesterday he had a normal training session. I’m interested in how he comes out mentally. We talked a lot all together without hiding anything and I didn’t notice any problems”.
How did you see the group after the Coppa Italia?
“Football is very emotional. There are warnings sometimes, you can predict… Instead, you lose two important points in the recovery against Parma. Two points that would have given everyone a different sense of environmental serenity, lost suddenly. In the cup it didn’t go as we hoped. I have to accompany the group in a constant growth, the incidents are part of the journey. In every group there are those who have their moments of form, I think of the group”.
Will Milan confirm the 4-4-2?
“In general, I think he will continue with the derby lineup. He has shown courage. He has many players to continue in this direction.”
