Fuci at San Siro – News on the U.S. Lecce

There is little to laugh about the title. Fuci at San Siro is a categorical imperative: if you don't fim you don't win! This is what happened in the first half when the agonistic heat, the desire to win, the legs in contrasts came to an end. "Fuci" is not to be translated as "corri" but it is the Salento fuci, that is, it escapes, "ntosta. Which contains a lot of things. Anyone who has played on the street with friends as a boy knows what we are talking about.

If overall the race at San Siro was positive, considering the macro arguments (travel, the Meazza, Milan) the same cannot be said of the performance analyzed between the first and second half. Frankly it is not that in the second half it was a different Lecce, perhaps more cynical and relaxed, but not very different at least until the 81st minute when Piatek signed the network of advantage. From that minute, Lecce has also transformed cynicism, pragmatism, physical and mental strength.

The first half was shameful. Even worse than Bergamo. And if somebody doesn't want to write it for modesty, I'm a little sorry. Because that's how it is. A good parent says things that don't go to their child, doesn't give him a caress if he's wrong. And here there is little to cuddle because in the face there will not always be the Milan that, with all due respect to the blazon, today as today is a team that you can also beat at the Meazza.

This time, however, there is little to blame for Liverani. Because then the choice of Meccariello on the right, although risky, although not acceptable, has been apt in order to limit the attacks of the Rossoneri. Obviously Lecce has lost so much in the construction phase and to take it alone with Falco, who certainly couldn't count on one to cover his shoulders, seemed excessive. Even Majer didn't shine that way. But even in this case my reasons turned from the other side as the entry of Farias changed the fate of the match. Okay, the race had already changed before with Petriccione who split the exit of the Giallorossi on the way out as Tachtsidis was constantly under siege. The match was best played instead by Tabanelli who did not concede a single centimeter to the opponents by winning meters and fundamental punishments to break the pace of the Rossoneri.

The truth is that the team is still searching for his identity (not tactical, we mean) and this can have a double interpretation: negative, given that we work with a core consolidated for two years and from July with the new, positive, because if these are the results now let alone in the future. The speech is: how much longer to wait?

Doubts. Like those that come to mind after seeing Meccariello in the field from the first minute: we certainly can't say that Rispoli and Benzar are out of shape. Theirs would seem to be a failure. Of course, we cannot see the training to better understand Liverani's choices but some signs are unequivocal.
