The textual chronicle

Perhaps very few would have imagined that Monza and Lecce, on the penultimate day of the championship, would have been separated by 19 points. The home team, thanks to Palladino's care, has in fact transformed from an ugly duckling into a prince. To forget the start of the season with Stroppa on the bench. Fifth gear instead with the Mugnano technician.

The Brianza - eighth - now also dream of Europe, aware that it depends on a series of factors related to Fiorentina, Juventus, Uefa; basically to Cups and sanctions. The Lombards have turned into an almost unbeatable team if it is true that they have not lost for eight games, with 18 points in the cash thanks to the victories over Napoli and Inter.

More "classic" path from newly promoted, however, for Marco Baroni's Lecce who is sweating to secure the stay in the top flight. Now consolidated the script of the Salento that are exalted with the great (even further from the Via del Mare) and suffer against the direct competitors as demonstrated again by the home defeat against Verona, the excellent draw in Rome against Lazio, and the colorless draw between the friendly walls with Spezia. The Giallorossi, quintultimi, burdened by six consecutive defeats ringed in the second round, have three points ahead of the Scaligeri and one on the Ligurians. It must be said that if Monza has become a battleship, Lecce will have a chance to break through the U-Power Stadium.
