Lecce’s manager Luca Gotti spoke to Sky Sport following his team’s 2-2 draw with Parma at the Stadio Via del Mare in Serie A. The match saw Lecce squander a two-goal lead in stoppage time, leading to a dramatic finish.
Gotti addressed the missed opportunity by Krstovic when Lecce was 2-0 up: “In the final stages of both halves, many players from both teams were very tired and lost their clarity. There were many things unworthy of Serie A. Two teams wanted to score, many players were attracted to scoring, few balances, so this episode goes into this type of container.”
The manager also commented on the lack of discipline shown by some of his players: “The football field, especially in a high-intensity match like tonight’s where many things happened, brings out edges and moments of lack of clarity. I honestly didn’t expect it from Guilbert, but I’ve seen the whole prolonged action now, with the bickering that goes on, and then he does this stupid thing.”
Gotti was particularly critical of Ramadani’s behavior: “Ramadani leaves precisely because of this agonistic trance, because he’s a bit too much in an agonistic trance, he’s booked, I’m worried about giving away the double numerical inferiority or anyway the numerical inferiority. Then it’s hardly justifiable even by the agonistic trance for a boy, first of his quality and then for a player of his experience, the lack of respect he has towards a teammate who has to enter.”
Despite the disappointing result, Gotti praised goalkeeper Falcone: “Obviously we don’t discover Falcone today, and I could add that he has now reached professional maturity. A goalkeeper doesn’t just have technical and physical qualities, he begins to reach a moment in his career where footballing maturation arrives in match management, self-management, moments. And I’m convinced that our good goalkeeper still has room for improvement.”
When asked about Dorgu’s role, Gotti responded: “I don’t have a clear answer to this because the real answer is, as I’ve said in unsuspecting times, Dorgu seems to me an all-rounder. Tonight he played as a winger, high right attacker, right-back, left-back. But he’s a player who, wherever you put him, participates in both phases continuously, he has enormous qualities.”
