Giampaolo's Lecce had a roller-coaster of yellow and red, coming off two wins and a draw in their first five outings. With the new technical guide there is certainly no shortage of fun, considering that each game had its own plot, most of the time compelling. In Venice the success was undeserved, then the fair equalizer with Juventus which only came in full injury time, the KO at the Olimpico against Roma, the three home points against Monza and finally the defeat which came yesterday in front of Lazio.
A difficult defeat to digest.
Despite the numerous absences, the hosts played a top-level match and deserved at least a draw. Castellanos' spot-kick and Marusic's great conclusion were decisive, nullifying Morente's shot from outside the corner. The match was uphill from the forty-fifth minute, when Guilbert literally saved the ball on the goal line, being sent off. In the final, the final blow with Kaba's header hit the post.
Lots of positive signs for Giampaolo.
Even if the list of unavailable continues to increase and there is an absolute emergency in defense, Giampaolo receives good news from those who take the field and respond presently. Berisha is in his second more than positive performance, as is Morente. The Spaniard, a mysterious object with Gotti, has scored his second consecutive goal and is gaining confidence.
