Lecce coach Luca Gotti is preparing for his home debut in a sold-out Via del Mare against Roma. The Iranian footballer underwent instrumental tests after his injury in the national team which revealed an injury to the flexors of his left thigh.

The atmosphere at the start of the full Mare will make the difference and will give us further push. Against Roma we will play the match as an opportunity," says the Lecce manager. "They are proactive, they dominate the pitch, they look for the dribble and use tight phrases," adds Gotti.
