Marco Giampaolo, the coach of Lecce, shared his thoughts in an interview with DAZN ahead of the crucial match against Lazio. He indicated that a proper evaluation of the season would be reserved for after the game, emphasizing the importance of focusing on giving their all in this match. Giampaolo stated, “We need to think only about our game. Others will ask what Lecce will do in Rome against Lazio.” He noted that the team is in a position where they need not worry about other teams’ performances, not out of a sense of superiority, but because of the dynamics of the final day of the league.
Speaking to Sky Sport, he highlighted the significance of this match, referencing how Lecce has never managed to secure safety for three consecutive seasons, adding that achieving this would be both a historic and sporting accomplishment. “There is much at stake, and the players are aware of it. It’s an all-in game—now or never,” Giampaolo concluded, indicating the high stakes involved.
This match could indeed set a historical precedent for Lecce, creating a sense of urgency and motivation among the players. If they succeed, it would not only secure their place in the league but could also be viewed as a significant achievement for the club. As such, the upcoming clash promises to be intense and pivotal for the team’s future.
