Frosinone Beat Lecce 5:1 in Record-Setting Start

Frosinone head coach Massimiliano Alvini expressed his satisfaction after his team's 5:1 win over Lecce. The side collected 17 points in the first nine rounds of the league, the best start by a newly promoted team since coming up from Serie B. This performance matches that of Juventus, who returned to Serie A after Calciopoli in the 2007/08 season.

Frosinone currently sit sixth in the Serie A table, three points behind Napoli and Juventus and one point behind Milan. Having scored 22 goals in nine matches, the team is among the league's top scorers, behind Roma with 23 and Inter with 25. No newly promoted side had scored this many goals in nine rounds.

Frosinone scored 13 goals in their last three matches. They beat Sassuolo 4:2, drew 4:4 with Atalanta, and defeated Lecce 5:1. Alvini said Lecce lined up with an unusual tactic, so he believed his side might not be able to comfortably execute the attacking moves they are used to. Even so, he stressed that the result was no coincidence.

Alvini noted that football is a show and said people come to the stadium to enjoy themselves. However, speaking to DAZN Italia, the coach also made clear that the team's priority is to stay in Serie A.

Georgian international Giorgi Kvernadze's comparison with former Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is drawing attention. Alvini kept his distance from the comparison. In his view, Kvaratskhelia is a more creative player who often prefers to dribble, while Kvernadze is a more physical player who runs tirelessly.
