Lecce, Sticchi Damiani defends Camarda: “Everyone can miss a penalty”

“Regardless of the result, I believe the boys played a balanced and orderly match. Napoli scored on the only chance we gave them, and this shows how well the team held up against the league leaders. A performance like this should give us confidence and motivation for the upcoming challenges.”

Camarda and the missed penalty

The president also commented on Camarda’s missed penalty, which could have changed the course of the match:

“Everyone can miss a penalty. Camarda was one of the designated penalty takers, and even with Italy’s Under 21 team he has always shown composure from the spot. The coach decided to offer him the chance and he had the courage to take it. We encouraged him, because he shows great maturity and character.”

Confidence in the future

Despite the result, Sticchi Damiani emphasizes how Lecce showed solidity and organization, fundamental qualities for facing the challenging schedule ahead. Managing delicate moments, such as the missed penalty, thus becomes an opportunity for growth for the young talents in the squad.
