Meeting Highlights…LECCE
A very intense, dangerous team, which has demonstrated many times that it has character. In the first leg, even though the match was already over, they went on to get that penalty and that draw. Against Fiorentina they changed the match at the last minute and they won. Character, desire to compete: it will be a great match.
…DEFENCE
There are opponents in front of us, who have quality and level: we must continue to give the same importance to the non-possession phase. We have found opponents who have put themselves very far behind, perhaps being able to have something more against us at times. We are always careful, offensively and defensively which is an important aspect of the game.
…EUROPE SLOT
I look at the pitch, at Lecce, I can't even think about Fiorentina, it will be a great match in front of our fans, we will try to face it to the maximum like all the matches: the rest counts less.

Luca Gotti
Manager on Lecce…OUR MENTALITY
We start with the will to perform as always, with the hope of adding determination. On our part there must be the will to get a result away from home.
...SCORE RATE
It's a positive aspect, this team creates a lot. We have to realise what good things we build. I believe that overall there are many positive aspects, then we can always improve.
…BOLOGNA
Bologna is having an important championship, they are sixth and they strengthened in January. In the first match we did very well in the first half, then they did well in the second half to take the lead. Finally we were awarded a penalty by VAR net. Regardless of the first match, we must be good at playing together, because they are complete and well coached by Motta, who I respect a lot.
