The rossoblù coach spurs the team: “We have to start from the final minutes with Parma. Training? A few small adjustments compared to Saturday”
CAGLIARI. The hangover of the heart attack final minutes against Parma, which gave us three points of hope, has passed. There is the away match in Udine, tomorrow at 20.45, in which the rossoblù must give an encore if they want to keep the chances of salvation alive. The first to be convinced is Leonardo Semplici who presents the game referring to the latest success of his team.
“Those minutes _ underlines the rossoblù coach _ have shown that not only the formation counts, how you arrange yourself on the pitch, and so on. But even more decisive is the determination, the character. With those, as we have seen against Parma, you can get to anything “.
The training, Semplici does not even give it dead. Just remember that Sottil and Tramoni are not available yet. For the rest, room for many conjectures but with a fixed point. “There is a lot of waste after Saturday’s match _ remembers Semplici _ close engagements, energies expended both from an athletic and mental point of view. It is clear that, compared to the initial formation we played against Parma, there may be some minimal changes. to give space to those who haven’t had it up to now but also to be able to exploit fresh forces “.
What Cagliari will there be against Udinese? An essential crossroads against a team that, among other things, will not be able to dispose of its strongest player, De Paul, who has been disqualified. “I hope to see a less fearful and more proactive team. You need courage and ruthlessness when you have this type of ranking. To score points you need to make an important performance”.
Against Parma we saw many defensive mistakes, as well as 4 goals from Cagliari. “From now to the end of the championship _ admits the rossoblù coach _ we must definitely improve the defensive aspect, because we can’t always win games by scoring four goals. Finding balance between the offensive and defensive phases is fundamental “.
Also on Saturday, a Nainggolan was seen in a more advanced position. “Certainly it was our technical choice _ observes Semplici _, determined by the need to put him in a role where he is more used to playing, and therefore to be able to make sure that he makes the most of his great possibilities. move of Joao Pedro. Let’s see if we will repeat such a line-up also against Udinese. “
Speaking of Joao Pedro, there is the possibility that he will catch up in some games or that he may be backward with the entry of a second point striker. Toro against Roma made such a move with the game in progress and ultimately won. “Such a thing _ remembers Semplici _ we implemented it in Milan, and we did good things. It is certainly an evaluation to make: at this moment we have to make many points, so this too is a solution that we must take into consideration .as proved. Joao Pedro doesn’t have to take a breath. He hasn’t scored in 5 games it’s true, but for Cagliari he is a fundamental player. We hope that finding the goal would be important for the team but also for him. “
The opponent for salvation? Turin, Benevento, Fiorentina, others? Simple shrugs. “Cagliari’s first adversary is Cagliari itself. In the meantime, we need the mentality to fight to the end. Everything depends above all on us, then it is clear that we also need to see the other results”
Finally, the theme of the day in football, the Super League. “I do not agree on the Super League _ He says Semplici in no uncertain terms _, there will be the right bodies that will evaluate the situation. But this story is about the future of football, but I am focused on our goal of salvation.”
