Lecce, homely atmosphere and championship dream

  On the one hand the Napoli the league leaders who want to make the dream of the championship even more solid, on the other hand a Lecce hunting for salvation points: for Tale two ambitions that risk weighing equally on the scales. "There are four games left for everyone. It may not be the most important for us or for them, but it is certainly crucial for both teams for their objectives". The absences of David Neres e Alessandro Good morning (maybe season over for both, besides Juan Jesus) still shuffle the cards at the module level: a problem but perhaps also an additional opportunity. "We have always found the right formula in emergencies. At the beginning it might not have been the right one. With Monza we started in one way and ended in another: there are no infallible formulas. I know very well that everything depends on the result: if you win you have chosen the right formula. We try to make a virtue of necessity, putting in the best players to continue doing what we have done in the last period. We have not changed much, we have found solutions but the idea, the game, the application have remained otherwise we would not have these numbers and the best defense in Europe". On one side its present in blue, on the other its past, as well as its origins, in Salento: for Tale tomorrow's match in this respect will not be like the others. "For me it is always a different match from the others: I was born there, I became a man there Lecce and therefore nothing and no one can change the feelings I have towards the city and its inhabitants, no matter what one may think or say. The feeling will bind me for life, even if I live in Turin I have my parents and a house in Lecce: I lived there a lot during my sabbatical year, it's a beautiful city, I have friends, but it's definitely a different game because I grew up in that stadium, in that club, before leaving". Street of the Sea there will not only be friends and relatives of Tale, but also many blue fans, despite some problems with the tickets. "This for us increases that sense of responsibility that we have had since day one: I have always said that I had received before giving and the aim is always to give emotions to the fan. The main objective has been achieved early, we are in Champions League and you know how much it counts economically for all the big clubs. The other objective that we had set ourselves and that I had spoken about was to cause trouble: second objective achieved because we are causing it. Now the third is to understand what kind of trouble we want to cause, if it is a major trouble or a trouble that has kept the championship in the balance. Let's not forget that two weeks ago we were 3 points underneath, this must serve to maintain calm and humility that must never be lost by the environment Napoli who must understand that we are all participating together for something unexpected, no one imagined it, but we must remain united, humble, with our feet on the ground. There are four games left and I - continues Tale - I have had experiences in which I have lost and won championships in the last few days. There is only one team that wins, but the boys have worked in a humble way, without flights of fancy, the substance is important".

The singles

  We then review the individual songs, starting from Mathias Olivera, expected to play central as happens in theUruguay. "You already know everything, there's no point in explaining it to you, these are bogus questions. Everything that happens here gets out, so I appreciate the question but you appreciate the honest answer." With a smile on her lips, Tale dribbles the question but not the next one on theInter and his excellent results in Champions League, which give further value to what the rival has done in the championship Napoli. "Watching the match I was thinking exactly this, with regard to their entire journey. First of all we have to compliment them and they are not fake compliments because theInter is representing theItaly in this way and it must give us prestige and joy and it must make us understand that the Italian championship is of an important level and also that the Napoli, giving the Nerazzurri a hard time, is really doing something extraordinary". Credit to the group but also to one Scott McTominay in the last few days it has literally become the extra weapon and, perhaps, even the scudetto man. "I've always talked about having to find solutions because looking at the squad I've always said that there weren't many goals in individual players. When there's this type of situation, you can't rely only on two or three players who score in double figures: you have to find a goal cooperative and find tactical solutions. McTominay Today he is clearly stronger than when he arrived: he himself feels more complete, with more knowledge, that he is also reaching an important stage of his age to understand which way to go in his career because he has been in the middle, he has never had a leading role in Manchester United that instead we gave him here. He grew a lot by working: today he is complete, but the improvement that he had was had by everyone else otherwise it becomes difficult to explain why today we have 74 points".
