LECCE-FROSINONE on the pitch at 15:00
To find the victory that has been missing for three months and to shake up the standings after four draws in a row. Roberto D'Aversa's Lecce are looking for the full blow in this afternoon's home match against former Eusebio Di Francesco's Frosinone, the real surprise of this first part of the season.
And the Giallorossi coach is aware of the difficulties and importance of the match against the Ciociari: "He may have a short blanket but like many, we cannot afford to think that we will face a team in difficulty - admits D'Aversa. They are flexible, they attack well, but they can also compact and defend well. And they are well coached by a coach I know very well. It's a difficult fixture, an important game for us and we want to breathe in the atmosphere we saw in the match against Lazio against Milan. Frosinone will have to play against Lecce, but also against the whole of Salento."
The Giallorossi and Gialloblu have followed an almost identical path so far: "One of our strengths and that of Frosinone is certainly the group," the coach continued, "as well as the ability of the clubs to set up excellent squads. In the summer everyone gave us last and penultimate, but with the work and skill of the elements you get different results. Tomorrow we will need to play with determination and enthusiasm, and take the field with the right head, pushed by our fans."
Lecce will have to do without Gonzalez (suspended) and the injured Almqvist: "Everyone has problems - underlines D'Aversa. But we have a fundamental game to play on which to stay focused, which could open up really important scenarios."
