Although this may become the season with the most goals conceded since he has worn the Lecce jersey, Wladimiro Falcone is close to a positive milestone: he has already collected seven clean sheets in the league, the same number as last season and one more than in his first year in the Giallorossi.
In the 2022/23 championship, with Marco Baroni on the bench and defensive solidity guaranteed by the presence of Samuel Umtiti, Lecce conceded just 46 goals. This year, on the other hand, the rearguard has had to deal with Pongračić’s farewell and Gaspar’s physical problems, forcing the team to continually make adjustments in the backline.
Despite the difficulties, Falcone’s numbers remain steady: with one more game without conceding a goal, the goalkeeper would reach eight clean sheets, setting his personal record in Serie A. With nine days left to play, every performance will be crucial to improve this figure and, most importantly, to help Lecce win salvation.
