The Croatian out of December with a ligament problem “I hope to be the player everyone here knows”
CAGLIARI. Midfield to be built or rebuilt for Cagliari next season. Men counted for now after the return to the base of Duncan, the negotiations to keep Nainggolan in Sardinia. And the possible assault on Nandez. The certainties are Deiola (soon a meeting with Capozucca) and Marin. And there is also a new “purchase”. Which is already in the house. A situation that fits perfectly with the spending review policy that involves big names like Inter. And, as announced on Wednesday by the diesse, it also applies to Cagliari.
Mirko Rog will also be in training with Semplici. He left the scene last December in Rome due to an injury to the cruciate ligament in his left knee. This is confirmed by the Croatian midfielder. «Everything is going well, I worked hard to get back on the pitch as soon as possible and now I’m back in Cagliari and I’m finally training with the ball too, a more fun phase than the previous one. I want to be ready for the July retreat ». The injury that forced him to finish the championship two days before last Christmas, at the Olimpico in Rome. For him an incredible blow. For the same team: repeated defeats and finally the sacking of Di Francesco. For Rog a long stop: first the intervention and then the recovery path. Many months in Belgrade, then the hug with the teammates on the day of Cagliari-Fiorentina. In the stands, however. In the meantime, off to training again in Assemini. And, when Cagliari won salvation, they rejoiced together with their teammates. «We showed that we are a very united group and in the end we reached the goal. In recent months I have missed playing football, the locker room. Now I have started working also with the ball, I hope to be able to be ready for retirement in July with the aim of playing a good championship with Cagliari ».
Not being able to play, he was a super Rossoblu fan. «The team never gave up even if at a certain point the situation was becoming very complicated». Cagliari, during the first phase of recovery in Serbia, saw him only on TV: “And I suffered a lot, I missed the environment a lot, I bonded a lot with my teammates and I wanted to come back.” Then the return to Sardinia. «I was pleased to be back with the team, the teammates have shown great character and won this important salvation. I hope to be ready in July to start preparing for the next championship together with the others. And I hope to return to the player everyone in Cagliari knows ».
