The rossoblù coach embittered at the end of the match “There is little to say, immediately to work to change course”
CAGLIARI. Initial deployment, phases of the match, episodes for or against, substitutions. No, Mazzarri does not speak of this. No match analysis. But it is not a press blackout. After the game he listens to the journalists’ first question about the progress of the match. And then he takes the word calmly: although he is dark in the face, he is very clear. «No – he begins – I know football well, I am quite experienced, I have been training for many years: in the face of this five to one I do not think we need to go into details, it would not make sense. All considerations may be correct, but it is difficult in these cases to make an evaluation of the game. I came in front of the microphones because I want to put my face on them. At this moment, a five to one was not exactly expected. I take on all the responsibilities: it is I who choose the starting eleven and it is I who make the changes “”
But something escapes him. But it’s only a moment. «I’m the one responsible – he said – I don’t want to talk, I myself have to reflect: I don’t have to be presumptuous, I don’t have to think, facing any team, to put on the field after all those forwards. But I don’t want to talk about it, anything that can be said in this situation would be wrong. “
The message is above all to the fans. «I apologize for what happened – he continued – whoever follows Cagliari does not deserve that the team suffer these defeats. Or rather, these blows. I also came to apologize to those who came as far as Udine, and there were many who followed the team with a lot of enthusiasm and then found themselves with this result. We apologize”.
He doesn’t speak much with reporters, but he must have already said something to the players. «I have already spoken with the team – she said – and I expect a reaction. We train right away and I expect a breakthrough. Let’s try to get out of it by taking advantage of the fact that the championship still allows us to change course. I can only apologize to everyone, I on behalf of the whole group: now we have to look each other in the face and respond immediately ».
Other bianconeri on Sunday, there is Juventus. A succession of matches that even with the asymmetrical calendar is the same also in the second round: Cagliari played against the Lady after the 0-4 home defeat against Cioffi’s team. “It is also true that the boys in the past have shown on the pitch how to react to this kind of blow.” And then cut it short. “Sorry – he concluded – try to understand the situation: I only came to show my face, I have nothing more to say, please do not ask me any more questions”.
