Now the company will return to the market to look for reinforcements. Giulini positive for covid
CAGLIARI. A Cagliari for ten. But without praise: ten as the goals collected in the last three days. And ten as the points scored at the end of the first round: one victory, seven even and eleven defeats. Yesterday third consecutive defeat, but this time without a goal: Mazzarri’s team played a decent match against Juventus, keeping the result open until the 83rd minute. A step forward compared to the matches with Inter and Udinese. And a step back in the standings: now Cagliari are only in penultimate place due to Genoa’s draw with Atalanta. And he must hope for Napoli to keep the distance with La Spezia unchanged and therefore with salvation. The second round now starts again with Sampdoria, the only team that this year has rhymed with victory for Cagliari.
But first there is the transfer market: the director of Capozucca hopes to find three four jokers that change the situation overnight. The example is the Bologna of two seasons ago, third to last three points from the fourth to last: it hit the mark with the purchases of Soriano and Sansone. And he was saved. But you have to choose well because January is the month of hopes but also of possible rip-offs. Cagliari are looking for substitutes for Godin and Caceres (now in goodbye) plus Walukiewicz (injured and perhaps departing) in defense. They could be Izzo and Goldaniga, but there is a problem: the grenade has only played four games, the neroverde even one. And the rossoblù team needs players ready immediately, because there is no time for running in. In midfield Rog (injured) and Nainggolan (expected but never returned) still regret. It is the department that could give the shock. And the sports director must not be wrong: at least two men are needed who are able to make the difference from the first day of return. Difficult but not impossible mission. The identikit. No players from other leagues (Giulini’s mistake in the first market) too far from A. And no players who have to find the form: there is no time. We think of the Florentine Amrabat, but also of some emerging (tested) from the B. In attack movements only in case of departure (in the African Cup) of Keita.
As if that were not enough, now there is also Covid which this time attacked President Tommaso Giulini. “Shortly before the game I learned of the positivity – said the coach Mazzarri at the end of the match – we are sorry and I am very sorry, we wanted to give him a good performance tonight”. Mr. The only recipe is work ». (Stefano Ambu / ANSA)
