The new Rosanero signing against Feralpisalò came on as a substitute and scored after six minutes. Coach, teammates and city dote on him, thanking him: “It’s the best start I could wish for”

You can leave with a heavy goal and show up by signing your debut. Always coming off the bench, all in a few minutes, many are enough for Federico Di Francesco to leave his mark. From the winning goal against Lazio as a last gift to Lecce, to the 3-0 against Feralpisalò as a presentation ticket in Palermo, just 48 hours after his arrival. In between, the most important choice: leaving Serie A to try and take it back with the rosanero, two intense weeks made up of tears, for the farewell to Salento in the match against Fiorentina, and of joy for having left his mark on his debut with the new shirt. Not even he could imagine a summer like this.

Thank you all for the welcome. Well done guys big win. Let’s continue like this.”

Di Francesco was the prized piece of a high-level market that will have to bear fruit in terms of promotion. Palermo invested and also insisted on him after the first no from director Corvino: three years of contract and over a million paid into Lecce’s coffers. But if good morning starts in the morning…
