Lecce vs Fiorentina: Preview
Fiorentina returns from the international break and heads down to meet a Lecce side assembled by some old friends. The match will be played on Sunday, 20 October 2024, at 4:00 PM GMT/9:00 AM EST, at the Stadio Via del mare in Lecce. The other thing that Lecce does is sit very deep, focusing on remaining compact and denying avenues towards goal. That means we’ll get to watch Fiorentina try to find a way through a packed penalty area, which hasn’t really been a forte since Vincenzo Montella’s first tenure. Despite that improvement, though, it’ll be a difficult task, as Lecce won’t try to press very often and will instead focus on denying space, allowing the visitors long stretches of possession.

A Tentative Step Towards Reconciliation: Jaishankar’s Visit to Islamabad
The recent visit of Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to Islamabad for the SCO summit marked a significant departure from the usual acrimony that has characterized Pakistan-India relations in recent years. Jaishankar’s visit came amidst a backdrop of heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The Indian government’s decision to participate in the SCO summit, despite the strained bilateral relations, suggests a potential shift in its approach towards regional cooperation. The resumption of cricketing ties, a topic reportedly discussed during Jaishankar’s visit, could serve as a catalyst for improved relations. While the road to normalization is long and fraught with challenges, Jaishankar’s visit to Islamabad represents a tentative step in the right direction.
