“Lecce has the opportunity to return to it with an equalizer, but we managed to get back ahead. This is an important victory, we need these points and encouragement.”

“The goal must be European qualification and chasing those who are ahead of us in the standings. Rome seems quite far, but then there is a (duel) head to head on Sunday. There are many points to be achieved in the remaining 11 matches and we must try it.”
