Saturday decisive race in the fight for salvation Semplici invites his team to put their helmet back on
SENT CAGLIARI. The debate on the color of the card shown to Ronaldo after the clash with Cragno is open. There are more those who favor the expulsion, but there are also those who acquit the referee Calvarese. In reality, the biggest faults are Chiffi who was at the Var. At least he should have called the race director and invited him to go and see the images. Cagliari, intelligently, did not exploit the episode. President Giulini politely protested, but also pointed out the mistakes made by his team. In particular, the lack of determination and the spirit of sacrifice that those who struggle for salvation must have.
False step. Losing against the Bianconeri is there. But rolling out a red carpet is another thing. Ronaldo was unleashed on Sunday, he unloaded all his anger on the rossoblùs. But the Quattro Mori made it easier for him, making mistakes that brought to mind those made when Di Francesco sat on the bench. The solidity of the defense went to be blessed. The bianconeri easily broke through on the lanes, confirming that the non-possession phase was carried out badly. The defeat leaves intact the chances of salvation, especially if Cagliari manages to make the coup on Saturday in La Spezia.
Step back. On the level of the game certainly. Less fluid maneuver, midfield that does not make a filter, slow ball circulation. Too many touches before making the switch and very few verticalizations. Duncan has good feet but must have more speed of thought in the plays. Marin went back to doing things in a cumbersome way, rarely attacked spaces and lost almost all duels. It is to be hoped that it is only an empty passage, because from now on the margins of error are very small.
I big. Bad day the day before yesterday for Nainggolan, Nandez and Joao Pedro. All three played below their means. The first seemed exhausted, he had only a few jolts in the second half but nothing more. The Uruguayan did not unleash his run on the flanks, facilitating the task before Cuadrado and after Bernerdeschi, who did not suffer. Joao Pedro died on the way, but he is the only one of the three who at least tried to turn on the light.
Opinion. Pietro Paolo Virdis remained very close to Cagliari. The former striker on RadioRai yesterday spoke about the rossoblùs. «A team that can be saved but must know that it will be very tough. In my opinion everything will be decided in the last days, if not the last day. With the new coach there has been an improvement. The race is open ». The former Juventus and Milan striker also expressed himself in this way about the Scudetto fight: «I think Inter can only lose him – he concluded -. If Juve wins, the recovery with Napoli falls to seven points late, but there are many. And then no one has the continuity of the Nerazzurri ».
