Lecce: Florence to drive away ghosts

Strike when the iron is hot. After you recover from a crisis that was becoming dangerous, Lecce in Florence today could actually take the plunge. If the magic moment marked by two large companies gained in Rome against Lazio and Milan were at home to continue even today, the team Salento could make a nice leap in the standings that would pull out of the relegation zone.

It is not a trivial matter when one considers that less than a fortnight ago, after the derby defeat against Bari, the situation was really critical and credentials Giacomazzi and comrades in the struggle for salvation had suffered a sharp downfall. But the beauty of football, especially after the introduction of three points for victory, is that it only takes one success to subvert a situation that seemed compromised.

Then, beyond the numerical distances, however, were not unbridgeable, Lecce a month now face has also changed, especially as regards the strength of his defensive system. Three goals conceded in their last three games. It may not seem few, but they are given the previous trend, punctuated by memorable blows and characterized by a permeability that has made the defensive team in the Salento punched in the league and that only twice left the field without conceding a goal .

One of these was, coincidentally, just the first leg against Fiorentina. A precedent that could be auspicious, although it must bear in mind that Fiorentina in their field is very different from Fiorentina "external use". However, Lecce Lazio beat loudly, until then the second force in the league and he has sent on a rampage behind leaders AC Milan, forcing him to swallow a bitter tie, has the potential to be able to play this game.

Did he, for the past two months has settled a certain character and a certain understanding that were missed in the first round of the championship. And also because Fiorentina, although to be taken lightly, is also a team in search of its identity. The defection of Jovetic and conflicts with Mutu have in fact imposed on the purple to change course and to convert a set of game that probably the intent of the vigil was to be focused primarily on these two players.

It is not that missing the dangers and that even if these two key elements of an orphan, the team can not reserve Mihailovic of the pitfalls with the current resources. But the new course of Lecce leads to hope. Finally you close the gate and not just because the team has grown in character and personality.

But also because Lecce felt, especially against higher-end teams must play by the province. Without of course give up their offensive game, but self-sacrifice, even the attackers, is to be as many as possible behind the line of the ball when opponents are holding the ball. One could say this was the winning mentality of recent games, had already begun in Naples before the Christmas break where the rejection for the Giallorossi was only the final result, but not in the overall assessment of a game that was played with great care and even security in their own ability.

Lecce has now acquired these characteristics that may prove essential in achieving the final objective. Florence De Canio has brought twenty players. At home were the injured and Ofer Giuliatto and Chevanton for technical choice. It's already the third game that the Uruguayan is not even called, but De Canio denies that this is the prelude to a possible sale within the market in January.

Most likely block the reappointment of the training that drew against Milan, with the exception of the suspended Mesbah will be replaced by Brivio Giacomazzi and that should be included in place of Grossmuller.
