Lecco comes out defeated from the friendly match against Inter U23, a setback that led coach Valente to reflect on the mistakes made by his men. The coach analyzed the team’s performance, identifying lapses in concentration at key moments as the main problem of the match.
“On the goals we lost the ball in moments that should have been managed better. We need to avoid these mistakes, be more clear-headed in our passing and quicker in regaining possession. With the commitment and hard work of the last few days it was difficult to have fresh legs, not to mention that the first eleven on the field had never played together,” Valente told colleagues at LeccoOnline.
The coach emphasized how the less than optimal physical condition, a consequence of the workload sustained in recent training sessions, affected the performance. To this is added another factor: the starting lineup had never played a match together, a factor that inevitably weighed on the fluidity of play and the understanding between the departments.
The defeat represents an opportunity for Lecco to assess itself, as they will have to work on ball management in delicate phases and improve the speed in regaining possession. Valente stressed the need for greater clarity, a fundamental aspect to prevent individual mistakes from compromising the collective effort.
