Code Robert D'Aversa were fighting for one place in the attack, arriving Luke Gotija they played together on the Leće bench... And everything seems to be looking much better.

Montenegrin football player Nikola Krstović and Italian Roberto Piccoli they look great as two strikers in the team from "Via del Marea", and the last game against Sassuolo, which Leće won 3:0, showed that Goti did not make a mistake by combining them.

One of the scorers was Pikoli, after Krstović sent him on the counter with a super assist and practically left him "one on one" with the goalkeeper. Andre Consilji.

"Thank you for the assist, maybe next time I'll give it back," Picoli said at the press conference after the match. "We had a great attacking day, Krstović and I were watching each other all the time".

Both Leće strikers have scored five goals each in Serie A so far, with Krstović having a better performance if his two goals were not registered as own goals - against Genoa and Salernitana.

"There was never any competition between us, and above all I think we understand each other very well on the field... We look for each other a lot and try to use the characteristics we have in the best way," Pikoli added.

What is most important for Leće, the victory in Reggio Emilia was a big step towards survival in Serie A - the team from the Puglia region, with five rounds left in the championship, is plus seven away from the danger zone.

"Those were three fundamental points, and we were incredibly eager to reach them. However, until we are mathematically sure about the survival of the relaxation, it must not be," Piccoli concluded.
