Alla vigilia di Lecce-Torino, il tecnico del salentini, Marco Giampaolo, ha presentato la gara in conferenza stampa
Marco Giampaolo presented tomorrow’s match against Torino in a press conference. During the meeting with journalists he also spoke about his experience in granata: “Torino is a strong and solid team, Vagnati was good at rebuilding it over time. There are only two players from the team I had, Milinkovic-Savic and Linetty, who by the way I brought to Turin. There has been a patient revolution, done intelligently, which has allowed Torino to become a very good team. Tomorrow it will come to play the game it has to play. Torio is a historic team, with great tradition, the president is solid, the fans passionate. I had a good time in Turin, although it was a particular period, in the middle of Covid, without the possibility of making a market, however, it is a club of great tradition and history, a solid club.”

Then about the preparation for the match he added, “A crucial match. Emotions and tensions have to be managed, with common sense and reasoning, with reflections that you have to make the team pass the concept that despite the difficult path, despite the current situation in the standings, the team comes from back-to-back performances, never surrendering, which have seen us defeated by a narrow margin. This is a crucial match, and the team even in the very last period has shown that it is doing well and playing for chances. I will do the possible and the impossible to save Lecce. It is the most important match of the year. I know that there will be as always home and away, all energy and strength must be directed toward this match. While we know that in soccer no one will give us anything, we must not expect anything from others, we must try to bring home the result.”
And again, “Only the result counts, and this is achieved through the game proposal. I analyzed our path and did it starting with the match against Udinese. Only against Como did we lose badly but I blew the game. We always played with merits and flaws, but we were never subdued. Could we have done more, could we have come away with more points? Yes. But now it doesn’t matter, now we need attitude, courage and doing the possible and the impossible to win the game and then we’ll see what happens. As long as there is a game to play, we will play, that has to be the most important thing for everyone.”
