Oliva and Godin recovered, for Nandez and Caceres it is decided today. Strootman ko Mazzarri could relaunch Pavoletti and re-propose the pair with Joao Pedro
SENT TO FLORENCE. There is no time to heal the wounds opened by Fiorentina. Tomorrow we return to the field. The Roma of the Special One arrives at Unipol Domus, forced to follow the match from the stands due to disqualification. Walter Mazzarri passed into the church and lit a candle. Seriously, the Cagliari helmsman hopes to recover at least some of the injured players, but above all he hopes that the rossoblù will bring out their pride, their fighting spirit. The one completely missed by the “Franchi”, which instead is a workhorse of the coach and should represent an important weapon when you are in trouble. Worrying signs have come from the Sunday afternoon game, even if the excuse of absences is not secondary. Football lays bare the faults and the day before yesterday two faults emerged clearly: Zappa and Lykogiannis have problems when they have to defend and are inadequate in the four-man side. A fast-thinking player is missing in midfield, able to verticalize. Marin is a mezzala, this is a fact, while Strootman (absent with the viola), bought to give substance and quality to midfield, at least so far, has not given the expected contribution.
The news. Tomorrow could be Pavoletti’s day. The attacker lost his starting position and played only pieces with Mazzarri. Leonardo is generous, he started the season with the aim of recovering all that the double injury took away from him. But for the moment he has “warmed up” the bench, considering that Keita, apart from Florence, has made a good contribution to the team. The Cagliari coach thinks about it, perhaps also because three games to play in eight days suggest sipping your energy. Certainly they are not clear days for the Livorno coach who lives things from his stomach and heart. Perhaps he did not think he would find so many problems when he succumbed to the court of the patron Giulini. “If this team didn’t have problems I wouldn’t be here,” he said several times in interviews. Experience and character are not lacking, he would also need a bit of luck in such a delicate moment of the season. Mazzarri is a motivator and right now he knows that using the whip would be of little use. He has to trust the players, hoping it pays off on the pitch.
The situation. Oliva is recovered, Godin is on the right track considering that yesterday he partially worked with the group. The question marks remain Nandez and Caceres, both kept at rest. The first complains of a discomfort in the flexors, the second complains of a bruised ankle. Custom work for Strootman. The Dutchman is unlikely to be on the squad list, while there is hope that the two Uruguayans can make it. However, the training will be a puzzle until the last moment and will be decided by the infirmary.
Serenity. The defeat in Florence brought Cagliari back to the same situation as the previous week. With Sampdoria you could not go wrong and tomorrow, in the match with Roma, it will be the same thing. With the difference that the difficulty coefficient of the match will be higher. The Giallorossi are a more robust team than Sampdoria, with more individuality. With a difference not to be underestimated: Mourinho has no doubts about the formation to be deployed, he has already announced that it will be the same as the match with Napoli.
