A completely transformed team on which Mazzarri’s work can be seen. In view of Napoli, hopes for the recovery of Nandez and Carboni
CAGLIARI. While waiting for the match against Napoli, scheduled for Monday at 7 pm at Unipol Domus, Cagliari regains further strength as it is very probable that Naithan Nandez will return, while Andrea Carboni’s conditions are to be assessed. Certainly Matteo Lovato is still unavailable.
It is a Cagliari that has definitely changed pace compared to that of the first round, closed with a haul of just 10 points. In the first six days of the second round, eleven have arrived, thanks to three wins (at Sampdoria and Atalanta and at Unipol Domusa against Bologna), two draws (in Florence and invaded by Empoli) and only one defeat (on the ground of Rome).
A decisive change of pace which is explained by the fact that slowly the Cagliari drawn in the summer campaign became the Cagliari of Mazzarri, a 3-5-2 in which the grafts of the young Lovato and Goldaniga alongside Carboni, the promotion of Altar in the first team, Dalbert’s move to midfield previously used as a winger, and the more continuous use of Gasto Pereiro, have borne fruit.
The last curious detail is that Cagliari, at this point of the season, finds itself having the same loot as a year ago: 21 points. At the time, Mr. Semplici had sat on the bench for two games, but now there is a Mazzarri who finally sees his ideas put into practice on the pitch. The hope of the fans, seen is the trend, that the epilogue of the championship is identical to last season. The minimum in order to finally be able to plan a season without worries.
