Player ratings

Lameck Banda runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Jamil Siebert: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Lecce have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

No end in sight to Lecce's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lecce has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Lecce

Nuno Santos was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Lecce against Hellas Verona

0‑2 to Hellas Verona, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

One of those days for Kialonda Gaspar

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.79, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom

Wages eat 128% of everything Lecce earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

The team sheet said everything about Nikola Štulić

Warm-up bib, ninety minutes of watching, and a handshake at the end that fooled nobody. Big matches tell you who a manager trusts; this one told Nikola Štulić.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Walid Cheddira

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Nikola Štulić hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Lecce can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Nuno Santos in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Lecce this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Konan N'Dri

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Lecce get the job done against Genoa

A 2‑1 win over Genoa, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Riccardo Sottil

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Nikola Štulić

Marked 8.18 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Francesco Camarda in the eights

A performance of 8.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Wladimiro Falcone lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Squad

Tiago Gabriel left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Tiago Gabriel will call it something else in private.

In brief
