The coach wants a team that is up to the performance that allowed the comeback: “Managing would be a mistake, we have to continue on the path we have traced, showing our great qualities”
CAGLIARI. Leonardo Semplici asks Cagliari to continue along the path traced in recent weeks: determination, team spirit and courage. In this way the rossoblù have eaten at Benevento all the conspicuous advantage accumulated by the Samnites and now face the match scheduled for Sunday 9 May in Campania with one point ahead.
“It is certainly a very special match _ says the rossoblù coach at the press conference _., They are in a situation that seemed impossible until recently, all due to our comeback. We have prepared the match in the best possible way. Benevento’s defects? We must look to ourselves, face the confrontation with great respect. We will try to play our game and show our qualities. “
The slight advantage also leaves Cagliari the possibility of making two out of three results. Simple, however, does not hear us from that ear. “Managing would be a mistake _ he clarifies immediately _ the advantage counts but not so much as to induce us to change our attitude. We have faced all the last matches as if they were from inside or outside. There will have to be maximum attention. They have many qualities , good at inactive balls. In short, we are well prepared and there will be no differences with respect to the last few games in the approach “.
The technician does not unbutton himself regarding the eleven who will take the field at the beginning in Benevento. “There are no training doubts, you know that we have a group of players who can give, each for his qualities, an important contribution. It will be a difficult match, that’s for sure, but we simply have to have their motivations, ready to face a battle “.
The singles, however, certainly return to the field in the starting lineup Joao Pedro and Marin. “Well, it is sure that Joao Pedro will return _ admits Semplici _, but in what position you will see him at the beginning of the game, that is, whether alongside another striker or behind the two strikers. Certainly his is an important return. , after the rest given given that he is still in warning. As well as the return of Marin after the disqualification round is very useful. He is growing a lot, as is the rest of the team “.
Team that has also shown to have excellent athletic training skills given the final in Naples, when Cagliari grew dramatically putting an opponent clearly in trouble on the ropes. “It’s true, we put Napoli in crisis in the last part of the match. We are in the final part of the championship, with the heat playing its part, and I must say that under the physical aspect we are fine and we have shown it to Naples. There, however, we also showed that we are a compact group, which is ready and determined until the last minute of the matches “.
Mistakes not to be made in Benevento? Semplici gets away with a joke: “The mistake we could make is to lose _ he says _. Cagliari has the technical qualities, only we couldn’t have the same mentality and determination throughout the match. We have grown a lot. all from this point of view. The boys understood that only with cohesion and determination could they try to fight to the end for salvation. A spirit that must be carried to the end of the championship because only this will allow us to achieve the goal “. THE
