Lecce manager Luca Gotti spoke at his pre-match press conference earlier today and discussed the upcoming fixture with Roma.

The recently appointed coach spoke about the challenge of facing an in-form Giallorossi side as his men continue to fight against relegation.

“Roma has changed a lot since De Rossi’s arrival,” remarked Gotti.

“Now we’re talking about a team that tries to be proactive and that likes to play in very tight spaces, quickly.”

“They will be missing Lorenzo Pellegrini and that’s an important absence for them. The quality of dribbling is the big change in these two months of De Rossi’s management. We will need to be careful and manage the game well. We have to play with courage against a team of Roma’s caliber.”
