The coach’s outburst after the home defeat against Como: “First the disallowed goal against Lazio, now the elbow to Ramadani… Rocchi compliments me on how I behave, but being polite doesn’t change anything”
“If you cancel out the goal against Lazio and today Ramadani gets the elbow, everything changes, especially against a team that knows how to play football. The expulsion without having said anything hurts me. I don’t want to say that it was prevented, but I certainly don’t have a good relationship with the referee and the fourth official.” Di Francesco doesn’t agree, the Lecce coach vented like this after the home defeat against Como: “Rocchi has often complimented me on my way of being on the pitch and respecting the referee’s decisions. I complained a bit, saying that sometimes being polite and respectful doesn’t change – he explained, referring to the episode that broke the balance of the match -. For me there was a foul. I reiterate with respect, as I have always done, that I also demand and We too respect how others are seen. I see coaches throwing away jackets and other things, it makes me sick to be sent off like this.”
match analysis

The Lecce coach did not shirk his responsibility in analyzing the match: “We could have done better even in the first half – said Di Francesco -. It’s not that we stop playing at the first mistake, it happened in the second half. We don’t have their quality, we know how to do little things and we have to do them. The 1-0 changed the match and prevented us from achieving an important result. The deficit is heavy, they have good players and that’s how it went.”
