The textual chronicle
It's a lightning-fast match. Either you win or you win. Three days before the end of the championship it is no longer allowed to make mistakes in the hot zone of the standings. The outcome of the challenge between Lecce and Spezia, direct competitors, will give many answers on the balance of the season. The Salento of Mr. Baroni are quintultimi, with just two points ahead of the Ligurians, but the men led by Semplici yesterday were joined by Verona who lost against Atalanta. Very delicate situation.
In the second round, the race to save the Salento has become complicated not a little because of the six consecutive defeats, even if the home victory with Udinese and the draw at the Olimpico against Lazio have given points and conviction. The guests, for their part, have relaunched the chances of staying in the top flight by imposing themselves at home against Milan. A 2-0 that allowed the La Spezia to present themselves in Lecce even more with the knife between the teeth.
Leonardo Semplici, technician of Spezia: "We worked with a different head, it's up to us to give continuity to the success against Milan, we must follow up by going to Lecce with the same malice and determination. We are trying to prepare as best we can to make a great performance. The only thing that matters is to face the remaining races with the utmost attention, we do not want to lose this category that the company reached years ago with great sacrifice."
Mister Marco Baroni, coach of Lecce: "We know the importance of the match, the players must maintain both concentration and compactness. The team must be able to stay calm, working continuously. At this moment, however, we must not look at this, they are games that are won with a positive spirit and conviction. There will inevitably be difficulties, but in these cases the important thing is to believe in it and go strong".
