Lecce, Di Francesco not looking for alibis against Como

Eusebio Di Francesco spoke in a press conference on the eve of Lecce-Como, scheduled for Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Via del Mare. The Giallorossi coach will have to deal with numerous absences among injured players and those engaged in the Africa Cup of Nations. “I do not reveal anything about the substitutes – he began -The roles to be filled you already know. I have tried to keep everyone ready, it is important who starts from the start but also who takes over. He can start from the start who has played less and has fewer minutes in his legs, we have to manage them. I have seen very good weeks of training, there’s people here who believe in the path”.

He then analyzed the keys to the meeting with the Larians: “There are the different phases of the race, they set well from the pass. They had the biggest difficulties when they lost the ball in the setting but that fits. Fabregas is a coach with very clear ideas. They have absences but also important substitutes. Fabregas has changed the team so much according to the opponents, but the team&#8217s identity is recognizable. We have to be good at jumping the first pressure. The most important thing is to give continuity, try to be short in all phases”.

In the last match Stulic got unblocked: “He gave energy to the whole environment, we need goals from the strikers, we need him, Camarda and the outfielders. We need to improve in the realized phase”. With Como we could also see Sala in midfield: “He has technical qualities, he can play with both feet. He comes from the Spanish Serie B, which has different rhythms from ours. He’s one of those players who can be in the game tomorrow, he has the characteristics of the more offensive midfielder. He has to improve in the defensive phase and in teamwork”.

The coach of the Salentini doesn&#8217t want to hear about soccer market: “We are focused on the match, any market talk would distract us from our goal. Then the market will come and we will talk about it more candidly. But today the market is my last thought”.

“Balance sheet so far? Moods change based on performance and results. I am very happy with the relationship that has been created with everyone here in Lecce, but ours is a bit’ a world of its own. Let”s think about tomorrow&#8221s game and enjoy the support of our people” he closed.
