After twenty days of the championship, Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari is sailing in the open sea with 18 points in the standings, clinging to a life jacket just outside the murky waters of the relegation zone. In the last round, however, Sir Claudio’s team fought tooth and nail, bringing home wood for the winter, the 2-1 home victory against Bologna with European ambitions is worth its weight in gold. Three precious points obtained after a tense match, the great heart of Cagliari got the better of the painstaking organization of the Bolognese, but in the long run it might not be enough. The ranking at the bottom gets shorter and the train to salvation runs fast without making any stops, the margin for error is increasingly reduced and from now on it is forbidden to make mistakes.
Reinforcement for the Cagliari midfield
Between Green and Touré
Andrea Petagna’s goal reminded the most forgetful that there is not only the eternal Leonardo Pavoletti, even if the numbers are not irresistible and the Cagliari attack could perhaps use someone to throw it in more regularly. Daniele Verde Spezia always remains the goal of the Sardinian club, for the 27-year-old there would be no problems in moving to Ranieri’s court and playing in Serie A, but Spezia would not be so convinced of letting the attacker leave without having something in return. Adam Obert, a 21-year-old Slovakian defender, would be the club’s request to be able to get rid of Verde. Cagliari has a young talent at home with exponential room for improvement and will think several times before letting the defender leave who, to tell the truth, has also aroused the interest of other clubs. Andrea Belotti now it remains a simple suggestion, perhaps just a rumor among the many that are being bandied around. The Sardinians hope to get to Verde without too many mental worries, waiting for Lapadula who has had a few too many physical problems this year. On paper, Cagliari’s attacking fleet has enormous potential, perhaps not supported adequately by a midline in constant difficulty. This is why for the midfield department it ticks Idrissa Tourea 25-year-old German half-forward from Pisa who also spent time with Juventus Under 23. In Tuscany the player didn’t particularly inspire, but perhaps the Serie A stage could offer him different stimuli.
