The LECCE It was characterized, especially in the early 2000s, for having a Pioneer 'scouting'. In the season 2002-03 came to join in attack on Valeri Bojinov, Javier Chevantón, Mirko Vucinic Y Graziano Pellè.
An 'inertia' that continued with Square, Muriel, Hjulmand … and that they have perpetuated this season Patrick Dorgu – struggling to Manchester United in the middle of the course – and Nikola Krstovic (Golubovci, 5-4-2000)that before the Hellas Verona (1-1) ended five games without marking In Series A.
The Nikola Krstovic performance chart.
If the LECCE continues with 'Life' -He is out of the decline in the 'golavenge'- is precisely Thanks to the International Montenegrino. The 'giallorossi' have the worst attack of the Italian league (25 goals), which puts more in value, if possible, The 11 goals -Siee with the right, three with the left and one headlong- and three assists which accumulates the Montenegrino international. In other words: he has participated in 56% of his team's goals.
There is another even more striking fact about the 'Krstovicdependencia' of LECCE. Krstovic is, according to 'Opta', the striker who has made the most shots (excluding blocked shots) Inside the five major leagues: 107. He is the only player who exceeds 104 shots of Kylian Mbappé.
All Nikola Krstovic's shots.
It is true that 'only' 40 of Krstovic's shots have found goal, but it cannot be said, much less, that a large number of quality occasions have wasted. The number of goals scored (11) block almost perfectly with its expected goals index (XG): 11.81.
This has been all the shots at Krstovic.
“The only thing that matters to me is the salvation of the Lecce”, The Montenegrino insists, which has an ambitious 'roadmap': “I don't know where I will be in five years and I don't think about it, but I hope to be an elite player.”

You can also boast the first player born from the year 2000 onwards to score in the league of your country.

His idols surprise less. “Ibrahimovic y Lewandowski”, stands out. Ibra, in fact, helped him in his beginnings in the 'calcium': “Zlatan is a gold person: after my expulsion against Milan In San Siro, he reassured me giving me the right advice to encourage me. It caused me a great impression. “
Goals, to tell the truth, has always scored. Krstovic, Red star player, He has two 'pichichis' in his record: In 2018-19 it was proclaimed Maximum scorer of the Montenegrina League With the Zeta (17 goals) and in 2022-23 he won the Award in the Slovak League Con El Dac 1904 Dunajská Streda (18 Goles).
