Also beaten by Verona 2-0, Cagliari collapses towards Serie B

by admin

CAGLIARI. Cagliari is sinking again. Even against Verona a negative performance seasoned by a new defeat that keeps Cagliari nailed to the third last place, when the countdown towards the end of the championship is now at minus 9. A 0-2 in which Verona played its honest game, showing its qualities, and Cagliari that did not show that fighting spirit that the coach hoped for on the eve of the match.

In the initial formation the surprise Cerri in attack alongside Joao Pedro. For the rest, almost obvious choices with Nandez moved to midfield in place of the tired Marin (three games in eight days with the Romanian national team), with him Nainngolan and Duncan, Zappa and Lykogiannis on the outside in the 3-5-2 completed in front of Cragno by the trio Rugani, Godin and Klavan.

The first opportunity is for Verona in the 11th minute: a free kick kicked by Veloso and a great response from Cragno who flies to his right to thwart the threat. Cagliari responds in the 19 ‘with a break by Nainggolan who serves Joao Pedro, shot and parade in the corner of the former Silvestri. But it is Verona to lead the dance, with Cagliari that must stay covered and suffer the game made up of passes and verticalizations of Verona.

Chills at 23 ‘, when Lasagna is served in the area and kicks the left-footed volley, but the ball ends up over the crossbar. The rossoblùs suffer but hold on. Very occasional for Cagliari in the 36th minute, with a cross from Nandez that passes into the area and reaches Lykogiannis on the left who, however, throws badly with his left foot and sends the ball sky high.

The second half opens with a more proactive Cagliari, thanks also to Nandez moving to the right wing, with Zappa retreating on the defense line. But after a good initiative at 7 ‘by Nandez, with Joao Pedro arriving late at the deviation, Verona took the lead with Barak, guilty left alone: ​​his shot from distance is a razor that ends behind Cragno.

Cagliari tries to shake up and at 10 ‘Joao Pedro serves Cerri in depth who tries to score but Silvestri rejects. At 16 ‘triple Cagliari shot: first Lykogiannis is rejected, then Cerri who finds the body of an opponent and finally Zappa who sends the ball out. Enter Pereiro, Simeone and Asamoah, and then Marin in place of the aching Nandez. Cagliari presses and at 20 ‘Simeone, served splendidly by Duncan, hits the post with a split conclusion.

Try Cagliari, to break through, but the initiatives are episodic. And Verona manages to defend themselves well. In the 35 ‘blaze of Marin, who served in the area by Joao Pedro touches the post with a nice right. At 37 ‘Duncan comes out and Pavoletti enters. The attacker from Livorno tries on 39 ‘with a shot to return but is lost at the bottom. At 95 ‘Salcedo for Verona hits the post in turn. Then in the 97th minute there is the goal of Lasagna’s 2-0 that closes all accounts.

Rossoblù beaten and now without a parachute towards the abyss of relegation. Really, now, after the third consecutive defeat of Semplici’s six games, only a miracle can get the team out of this situation.
