Marco Giampaolo calls for courage

Marco Giampaolo, Lecce’s new coach, presented Monday night’s post-match with Venezia at a press conference. "I recovered 5-6 players only on Thursday – he began -. With the full squad we had two training sessions. With the remaining players in the headquarters I understood something more than I knew before. The team è trained with the right attitude. There are a lot of things to do but time cannotò buy".

"I have to give as few notions as possible to the players otherwise there is a risk of confusion,” added the Salentini coach. “To be well on the field you have to work on the field. Then you have to put determination, desire, awareness that it will be an important match, professionalism, respect for your work. I want a game of substance, then not everything can be predicted in a game. I think you have to raise the percentage of ball possession because itè allows you to lighten up and have some awareness. We have been working on this aspect. If there’è one detail I would like to see tomorrow night è taking responsibility, having courage, making an extra passù and not giving the ball away".

On Venice: "He plays well. He has clear ideas. In ball possession he knows what he wants. Against Inter losing’1-0 and in the’last minute he played instead of throwing the ball away. That says a lot about the mentalityà that the coach has transferred to his team”.

Final comment on Patrick Dorgu: "I think he can do both as can most players, like Pierotti. Banda maybe plays better on the left, as does Samson. Oudin maybe plays better on the right".
