Lecce’s Piccoli: My goal was legitimate, there’s regret

Lecce striker Roberto Piccoli has spoken to DAZN following the draw with AC Milan, expressing his disappointment over his disallowed goal. He said, “It is a bit upsetting, as it was clear that the goal was legitimate. There is a lot of regret, as these are heavy points for a team like Lecce that must be saved.”

Piccoli noted that Thiaw got up immediately and no one protested, suggesting that the team could be “smarter.” He recalled his feelings after celebrating the goal, describing it as an “incredible joy” before the disappointment of having it disallowed.

Regarding the competition with Krstovic, Piccoli views it as a positive struggle that benefits both players, helping them improve and give their all in both training and matches. Ultimately, he says, the coach makes the final decisions.
