Below are the statements made by Lecce coach Marco Giampaolo in a press conference ahead of the match against Parma:

What is the reason for the defensive vulnerability in the last two matches?

“They were different matches. Against Inter, despite the two technical errors that led to the first two goals, the team showed the courage it needed.

Then, there are different categories of difference between us and Inter, but this must be taken into account. However, the losses against Cagliari and Inter have different origins.”

What do you expect from Parma?

“Parma is a quality team, different in characteristics compared to ours, more similar to Como and Venice. We expect a tough match, we need to be ready.

This match will measure us in terms of character and psychology. I am used to judging performances, often the result can be deceiving. Lecce must always seek to deliver the performance, despite the technical errors.”

Is Dorgu among the players called up, will he start?

“Today he is a Lecce player, he is called up and will travel for the match. I have made many considerations about him, I will make the most logical and right decision because Lecce comes first.”

How important will the midfield be?

“Parma is an open team, they exploit the quality of their offensive players, they are very strong when playing vertically. It’s important to do many things right, we have analyzed the match and know the opponent’s characteristics.

Parma’s quality sometimes weighs in the collective balance, but these are risks taken based on the strong players they have in front.”

Will you confirm the lineup from the last matches?

“I will play the best starting eleven from my point of view. I make evaluations based on what I see during the week, I will choose the best formation based on each player’s conditions, always trying to propose the same football philosophy.”

How is Gallo doing?

“Gallo has not had continuity lately but he will play. Will he play ninety minutes? I hope so. If he can’t, we will see how to manage. However, he has trained almost every day this week.”

How have you seen Veiga and Tiago Gabriel?

“They are two investments of the club, we need time to get to know each other and understand each other linguistically. They have arrived to expand the number of defenders.

We need to train, get to know each other, and understand the customs and ways of living in Lecce. They are two young players, investments in which the club believes and on which we will work.”

How is Berisha?

“He is better but not available for selection.”
