In what appears to be a significant game, D’Aversa emphasised the importance of maintaining the atmosphere seen in matches with Lazio and Milan. Speaking about Lecce’s upcoming match with Frosinone, he said, “This game could open up very important scenarios.”

The coach also encouraged his team and the entire Salento region’s support saying, “Frosinone needs to play against the whole of Salento.”

He highlighted the team’s progress despite low expectations at the beginning. “Everyone thought we would be the last or second to last, but hard work and skill have brought different results.”
