Lecce’s coach Marco Giampaolo expresses pride in his team’s performance, highlighting their late equalizer against Juventus as a boost for confidence and standings in Serie A.
Giampaolo took over as coach after Luca Gotti was let go. Since then, he has not lost a match with Lecce. His first game was a solid win against Venezia, and now they have earned a point against a strong Juventus team.
In the match against Juventus, Ante Rebic scored a crucial goal in the 93rd minute. He received a pass from Nikola Krstovic after a deflected shot from Andrea Cambiaso. Lecce was lucky in the first half when Juventus hit the post twice.
Giampaolo expressed his happiness with the team’s performance. He said that fighting until the end and getting a point is a big boost for their confidence. He also mentioned that Rebic has been playing very well and is a valuable player for the team.
The coach noted that Rebic’s experience is important, and he can play in different positions. Giampaolo is pleased with how Rebic has been contributing to the team, whether he starts or comes off the bench.
Since Giampaolo’s arrival, Lecce has earned four points from two matches. He feels that he has brought a lot to the team. After spending two years away from coaching, he is thrilled to be back and leading Lecce.
He praised the team’s spirit and humility, especially against a team like Juventus, known for controlling the game. Giampaolo believes this result is significant and will help them in the league standings.
Giampaolo is known for his attacking style of play, which is essential since Lecce has struggled to score goals. He mentioned that they have been focusing on improving their attacking play in recent training sessions.
While he wants the team to be more aggressive in attack, he also understands the need to take things slowly. He wants to ensure that the players are comfortable with the changes and not overwhelmed.
