LECCE – The defeat was probably taken into account: there are teams more within Lecce’s reach, others who are less so; or rather with which Lecce has a difference in values which it can only make up for with attitude, mental condition and concentration. Aspects that the Giallorossi team tried to implement against Inter, also putting some ideas into practice. Good approach, good performance in the first minutes. Then mistakes that cost dearly: the first two goals came from two exit turnovers. However, the team does not collapse. There is an attempt at a reaction; then the third network. From that moment on, Lecce lost their bearings. Marco Giampaolo explains:
“When there is a difference in values on the pitch and you just have to choose how to play. We tried to do it by standing tall and trying to have a proactive attitude in this match. You can choose to play courageously or leave the ball to the opposing team who would go and get it, exhausting you. Or with courage. The two goals came from two bad passes but to the team the courage and attitude have not changed. They are two difficult goals to digest. In the second half we started again looking for the spark to rekindle it, then the stadium pushes, but then you also have to manage any failures that you then suffer. You can be wrong. The important thing is not to die on the mistake; that is, I don’t have to lower my head. Then you have to understand, be realistic and understand what the strength of the opponent is that you were solid, confident. Simone told me “I didn’t know how you would cope if you picked us up or waited for us”. I didn’t want to play a submissive game. I repeat, always net of values”
Simone Inzaghi defines his Inter’s performance as flawless, a match immediately directed in the best way:
-“We played an excellent match, despite the fact that we played with a strong and healthy team who came to us with courage and who in the last six matches under Giampaolo had only lost at home against Lazio at the end of the match. Then he also faced an Inter team that wanted the three very important points for our ranking.”
