With two days to go before the away match against Lecce, coach Leonardo Semplici spoke in his usual pre-match press conference: "We have been working with a different head, clearly the win and the performance have given us confidence and a bit of light-heartedness, things we had not had in the last matches. But as I told the team this morning we still haven't done anything, it's up to us to give continuity to the success against Milan, we need to follow up by going to Lecce with the same energy and determination. We are trying to prepare as best we can to give a great performance.
At this moment I think it is useless to set a salvation rate, the only thing that matters is to face the remaining matches with the utmost attention, we do not want to lose this category that the club reached years ago with great sacrifice. We will therefore try to face this final season to the best of our potential.
We are trying to figure out which tactical set-up will be able to give us greater guarantees, we are evaluating and I think this doubt will be dissolved in the last few hours, the boys certainly performed very well in the last round, but the absence of Amian forces us to evaluate well what to do.
If we were to play two up front Shomurodov represents a possible alternative also from the first minute, as for the injury situation Bastoni is not recovered, while Caldara also stopped, who already on Sunday in the warm-up during the match had suffered an ankle problem.
We will have to repeat the attitude and badassery we had against Milan, where I saw the hunger for points and goals from the boys, it is through this kind of performance that we can decide our destiny. What we did last week, however, remains just one game, we will have to give continuity because in two days a difficult game awaits us in a very hot stadium. However, I am convinced that my boys will respond in the best possible way.
We will have to be attentive to all the nuances of the match, we know that so many times episodes direct matches, so it will be crucial to make sure that we push these episodes to our side, through motivation, nastiness and determination that we must always put on the field. I know we will also have a good following from our fans, which we are very pleased about in such an important game, so we can only be confident.
Zurkowski has an extra week of work, he is growing more and more and we will evaluate how to employ him.
Having three Italian finalists in the European cups is certainly an important aspect, the child of the good work done on the field, by the players and our coaches; we Italians from the most difficult moments always manage to come out great, I hope that this can be a restart of Italian soccer in general, to continue to be more and more competitive on the field and grow from all points of view, including that of corporate structures."
