    • 19.40 Serse Cosmi: "Today we are in the same psychological position as after the game against Lazio: we must find a win. Teams who suffer little are more difficult to play against and Inter have many players who are in good scoring form."
    • 19.35 Claudio Ranieri: "Lecce are last in the standings, but from what I have seen I think this place does not represent their true ability. They have good, quality players, and they will give us a lot of trouble tomorrow night. They have to be taken seriously and we should always be alert to the threat they pose. We have to close them down, cover all the spaces and keep our guard. We want to deliver a great performance against them."
