The faithful will think that the victory of Lecce on theEmpoli of Mister Nicola is thanks to Sant’ Oronzo, the patron saint of the capital who was repositioned on the Column in the central square of the city in the morning. But the more prosaic will see the three fundamental points gleaned from the team Gottiprecious points in the race for salvation in the 2023-2024 Serie A football championship, as the exclusive merit of the new coach who took over from D’Aversa who brought out, at the right time, from that cylinder called ‘bench’ the players who have the fate of the match was pushed towards Salento glory.
The decisive action came in the 90th minute thanks to the invention of the trio Venuti – Pierotti – Sansone recently entered in place of Gendrey, Oudin, Almqvist. All due to a disengagement error by the Tuscan defense.
A match lived in the stands in memory of Salvatore Giannone ‘Balilla‘, historic Giallorossi ultras leader who had died, after a long illness, the day before the salvation challenge of Via del Mare.
A success that far from being decisive is however worth double the points it delivers to Blin & Company. A difficult match at Via del Mare in which Lecce deserved to win on points, a match often blocked, a match which saw miracles from the opposing goalkeeper Caprilea match that had started very badly with the goal of Cerri later canceled by VAR (read the match report).
