Coach and team rely on the calendar that reserves the home match with Parma and the direct clashes with Benevento and Fiorentina
CAGLIARI. Cagliari ever closer to Serie B: fourth consecutive defeat for Semplici’s team. And the victory of Turin (who also have one game less) has lengthened the distance of the rossoblùs from the fourth last position. Now the points that are missing to realign the grenade are five. And there are only eight games left at the end of the championship. There is another problem: six points could be needed because the direct matches are even (3 to 2 in Turin and 0 to 1 in Cagliari), but the goal difference is clearly in favor of Nicola’s team (-10 against the – 20 of the rossoblù).
There is still room for the race against Benevento and Fiorentina, but both are more than 8. It must be considered that it would be necessary to at least win the head-to-head clashes, in Campania and at the Sardegna Arena against the Viola. Players and coaches, yesterday at the end of the match after 0-1 with Inter, said it immediately: we will not give up. «The classification depends on us – these are the words of the coach Leonardo Semplici – starting from the next match against Parma. Clearly, however, a change of pace is needed: we need to score more points, achieve more victories. If we play with the spirit shown today, we have our chances ».
The calendar lends a hand: on Saturday Parma almost doomed to arrive in Sardinia. And for Cagliari it is a match to stay alive: a draw is no longer enough, it would be a virtual condemnation to relegation. For the match against the Emilians, the possibility of Cragno’s recovery is always at stake. The second, Vicar, but yesterday did very well: in the event of a second forfeit of the blue, the former Perugia could win his second presence in A. Semplici optimistic for the final rush based on what was seen at San Siro: “From on our part I saw spirit, desire, determination: fundamental aspects for our salvation ». (HANDLE).
