The break after the equal-joke with Fiorentina: for the grenade, the negotiation is now at the end
CAGLIARI. A draw. Or rather a victory cherished, touched and then escaped. But Cagliari immediately looks ahead: a two-week stop to recover at least the absent from Covid. And to understand what to do with Nandez, out due to an injury against Fiorentina. The Uruguayan’s speech is linked to another important appointment for the reconstruction of Cagliari that is chasing salvation. The date is January 31, the last day to buy or sell. The market depends on him: by selling the midfielder the club could unlock the liquidity index to take the players they need to cover above all the shortcomings in midfield.
A sacrifice and a bet to kill two birds with one stone: to please the player who had asked to leave in the summer. And find this week players functional to the needs of a team that from here on will have to run towards the fourth to last place without thinking about anything else. For the midfield, today should be Baselli’s day: yesterday the grenade said goodbye to his teammates. Five minutes and recovery against Sassuolo, then a new page opens with a coach, Mazzarri, who knows him well. And that aims to rebuild and relaunch it after two so-so seasons. Also in this case a bet: if the coach were to manage to hit the right strings, Cagliari would have a reinforcement that up to three seasons ago traveled over thirty appearances and scored an average of five goals per season. A curriculum that had also earned him a presence in the blue jersey, May 2018.
Speaking of the national team, there is Joao Pedro who travels to Mancini: he and Balotelli should be the special observers of the internship in view of the challenges that Italy will have to face to obtain qualification for the World Cup. Yesterday for the Brazilian lights and shadows, but he is the soul of Cagliari. And on the return with Atalanta there will be no suspension. The ranking, even after yesterday, is less scary: Venezia are one point above (but have one game less), Sampdoria are three points away. However, it seems like a speech restricted to five teams given that Spezia is now flying and Udinese, seven points and one race less, seems to be from another planet. A championship that will be played away: Cagliari will face direct clashes with Genoa, Salernitana and Venice all away from the Domus. (HANDLE).
