Yesterday the first training of the team, today the vaccines On the market the rossoblùs aim Valoti and Lemina, Ninja close
CAGLIARI. Cagliari kicks off with the first training session of the 2021-22 season. But the team is still a construction site: the next few weeks will be decisive for understanding who the key players will be. Ds Capozucca and president Giulini at work to try to give Semplici some certainty and a few more players before leaving for Pejo. Starting with Nainggolan, who returned to Inter for the end of the loan, but now getting closer and closer.
Two names above all for the new midfield: like Valoti and the former Juventus Lemina. But first of all the positions of Godin and Nandez must be defined, on leave after the struggles of the America’s Cup. And of Simeone, in the group, but ready to greet everyone if an agreement with Marseille is reached in the next few days. In the middle Cragno: at the moment it remains seen that starting, at any moment, he should be Vicar. Destination Empoli. For now we start like this: 25 called up. And 24 present. The only absent, but justified, Walukiewicz: he will arrive today.
The day started with health tests. Presentations only for veteran Strootman and 2002 Obert. The others, more or less, all know each other. The team, in small groups, has a series of athletic tests, divided between the gym and the field. Today the rossoblù will meet at the Sports Center for the morning training, followed by the team group will move to the hub of the Cagliari Fair to undergo Covid-19 vaccines.
