CAGLIARI. It is as if Cagliari were facing a precipice. There are two options: falling into the void or clinging to a rope and keeping the hopes of being saved alive. A crude description of the situation in which the rossoblù find themselves. In Reggio Emilia, against Sassuolo, it is almost rhetorical to say that an endless free fall must be interrupted. Four defeats in a row and last place in the standings that at this moment it is better not to look to avoid depression. It’s not the last resort but returning home empty-handed would be devastating in every sense. Mazzari worked a lot on tactics and on the heads of individuals. The early retirement was a move to compact the group. A choice is said to be shared between the technician and the club. A way to let the team know that the bonuses are gone and the same thing is true for the time of the words. We need results, to be obtained by fighting for the shirt (as claimed by the patron Tommaso Giulini), giving everything on the pitch.
Choices. Since he never gets tired of raining in the wet, Godin and Farias (the Brazilian can be considered a separate at home) are not on the squad list. Both of them experienced physical problems while finishing and stayed at home. Mazzarri announced that today we will see something different but he has several training doubts. Meanwhile Bellanova will have a starting shirt and Ceppitelli the responsibility of leading the defense. In midfield Strootman is not sure to start from the beginning, while in attack Pavoletti and Keita play a shirt, with the first favorite, even if the Senegalese is fine and worked hard during the break.
The Emilians. Dionisi does not recover Djiuricic, Goldaniga and Boga but has many arrows in his bow. Scamacca will be the central striker, behind him will act fast players like Berardi, Scamacca and Traore, who will not be granted spaces because they know how to do badly. It will be a 4-2-3-1 that of the neroverdi. «It will be an important match against a difficult team – the words of coach Dionisi -. They will come here to get something out of their performance. We have to go and look for the episodes because the results are obtained from this ». Words with honey for Mazzarri. «He has a successful and important career behind him. He has experience. I think it is a stimulus for a young coach like me to confront him ».
Statistics. Cagliari have lost eight of their first 12 Serie A games for the fourth time. In the last two of these occasions he managed to save himself from relegation. Walter Mazzarri has lost his last four league games at the helm of Cagliari: it is the fourth time he has recorded such a long streak of consecutive defeats in the competition and never in his career in Serie A has he reached five in a row. © RESERVED REPRODUCTION
