Roberto D’Aversa grooms Lecce: “Without nastiness this happens”

An appeal to his team after a very heavy defeat.

Roberto D'Aversa grooms Lecce, which suffered a very heavy 4-0 defeat in Bologna after the good signs of the victory against Fiorentina. A knockout that the Giallorossi coach explained after the match in very clear terms, also launching an appeal to his team, while taking his hat off to the great performance of Thiago Motta’s men.

"C'è little to comment on, as the whole team gave a performance that was certainly not optimal – explained D'Aversa to the microphones of 'DAZN' -. We have to congratulate Bologna, in Serie A such performances can happen and it had not happened to us yet. But if you take the field without nastiness, then you run into performances like the one we witnessed today".

D'Aversa especially regrets a phase in the first half when his Lecce could have equalized Bologna's early lead. "If we had scored at that moment, we would have taken away some certainty from a team that currently takes the field in excellent psychophysical condition. And if you create chances and do not take advantage of them, the game then goes downhill for your opponents. Now all we have to do is to analyze our mistakes and get back to work, since Friday we will be back on the field", concluded the coach of the Salentini.
