The Lecce coach Luca Gotti spoke at a press conference on the eve of the match against Fiorentina, also giving an update on the conditions of the returning Kaba: “After Udine he joined the team. He is intact, he must gain the intensity that is needed in Serie A. He is a muscular midfielder but of great verticality, can give us some more solutions”.
And Banda?
“I’ll knock on wood. Banda stopped after the Milan match and did 12 days of rehabilitation only. At the beginning of this week I gradually inserted him into the group and yesterday he did his first full training session with the team. Yesterday for the first Once I saw Banda with D’Aversa, I was very happy for him. However, it’s just a training session.”
And Samson?
“He joined after Udine and is trying to increase his pace. Sansone is easier to find the best condition than Kaba. He can occupy different positions in attack. It depends on the playing time, he can play everywhere in attack.”
Why Dorgu on the right?
“I agree on the goodness of the chain with Gallo on the left, but I have a team to put together and I have to make all the accounts balance. The choice of Dorgu on the right is to try to give a better area of the pitch to Rebic, who would be penalized on the right. Everyone liked the chain with Gallo, we all benefited from it and we will be able to benefit from it in the future too.”
What does the team need to do to get Krstovic to score more goals?
“I don’t think I need to think about this. Lecce must score goals. Krstovic has scored 2 goals in 7 games, it’s not a bad stat. Lecce must score more goals.”
