The president: “Everything is going wrong and we lack personality We are not worth the last place but we have to prove it”
BOLOGNA. On the eve, Walter Mazzarri said he had seen progress. Both in the defensive phase and in terms of character. Adding that he would have liked to see further improvements in ball circulation. The Cagliari coach was confident, certain that his team would give important answers on the pitch. It was not so. The field said that this Cagliari is fragile in character, goes into the ball at the first difficulties, suffers and fails to react. Severe character limits for a team that has to fight to save itself. The technician yesterday avoided notebooks and microphones. Only the president Tommaso Giulini, very dark in the face, spoke at the end of the match.
«I want to clear the field of misunderstandings immediately: Mazzarri doesn’t touch himself. At this moment it is one of the few certainties we have ». The rossoblù patron says it forcefully, as if to silence all the rumors. «We are in a very complicated moment, we concede goals at the first mistake. We are not a team that is worth the last place but much more. We have to prove it on the pitch and not in words. I would add that everything is going wrong. We lost some important players, it really didn’t take us ».
Retired team? «We will talk about it with the coach and with the sporting director – adds Giulini -. Maybe it serves to compact the group even more. Look at each other, make an analysis all together and better prepare for next Saturday’s match against Atalanta ».
The Cagliari president also dwells on the alleged penalty on Joao Pedro. «Perhaps another referee would have evaluated this episode in another way, granted the penalty and given a few more minutes of recovery. Today, I tell the truth, there was nothing sensational, but if the penalty whistled it was not a scandal ».
The team takes too many goals. «But since Mazzarri has been around we have conceded less – concludes Tommaso Giulini -. Let’s say that maybe we need to be more proactive, get the ball around better, have more personality and self-esteem. I have faith in these guys, they have values and will demonstrate them from now on ».
