Lecce young and handsome, Corvino's latest creation

Rome, 22 October 2023 - Twelve points in 8 games, proactive play, lots of enthusiasm, but above all many strong players. We're talking about Lecce by Pantaleo Corvino, sporting director of the Giallorossi, capable of painting a masterpiece, even more beautiful in its details.

The spearhead of the D'Aversa rose is certainly represented by the new Montenegrin nine born in 2000, Nikola Krstovic. Giallorossi, who know something about Montenegrin players, just think about Mirko Vucinic, an old acquaintance of Serie A, which exploded in Lecce, thus starting the football journey towards higher shores. The same Vucinic who, beyond the recent misadventures with the tax authorities, has had a fundamental role in bringing Krstovic, strongly recommending him to Pantaleo Corvino, at the cost of paying him 10 million euro (the sporting director of Lecce, with a masterpiece, will take him to Italy for only 3,9 million). But Nikola Krstovic is just the tip of a huge iceberg, a squad that is truly complete in every department and full of talent. Attacking trident made up of quality players, all very good skilled in one on one: Fatigue to the left, Almqvist on the right and Krstovic as central striker (the last two arrived this summer). Backup number nine? Roberto Piccoli, great Italian talent, and above all a great luxury to keep on the bench for a club that until two years ago played in Serie B. Let's not forget Band, stopped in the pits for more than a month he has finally returned to bring gas and unpredictability to the wings of Lecce.

Quality in purchases, permitted byonerous transfer of Hjulmand, flew to Portugal during the last transfer session for 18 million euro. The two half wings are very interesting Kaba (French born in 2001) and the most offensive Rafia. In the defensive department we find two certainties making up the defensive quartet, the leader Baschirotto, a player from times gone by, who makes temperament and discipline his two strong points. It remains underestimated Gendrey, a full-back with drive and dynamism, with good power and excellent positional sense, the Frenchman is ready for a level up.

With Falcone protecting the posts Lecce has secured a thriving project, focusing on a quality green line. Example for all the newly promoted teams who instead rely on an "Instant old team" to try to guarantee their stay in Serie A. Lecce is synonymous with sustainability, both technical and financial (overall budget of the last session positive by 4 million with 22 million spent), numerous players we will hear about and with whom Corvino will be able to finance his winning cycle, in the name of quality and football sustainability.
