Raoul Bellanova is a nice surprise: “It’s time to go back to winning”
SENT TO VERONA. At first he seemed like a side player. Raoul Bellanova was just waiting for him to be given the chance to play. He jumped at the opportunity that Mazzarri gave him, winning an almost untouchable starting position. The right fielder (but if necessary shifts to the left) is rising in pitch. Each game gets better and better. He is preferred to Zappa because unlike his partner he works better in the non-possession phase, as well as being more disruptive when he sinks. «I’m happy first of all for the team’s performance – he explains – we deserved to get up after the mockery against Salernitana. It was not easy to start again because Verona is a complicated opponent. With a little more sparkle we might as well have won it. But I think a draw is an important result for morale. We have given a signal of growth. I am optimistic for the future, even if it is time to go back to winning. That’s what we need to start putting things right. “
Growth. Bellanova arrived quietly but with good credentials. He is an Under 21 international and plays an important role in the team led by Lovato. Cagliari for him is a place where he can improve. «I am pleased to be useful, I am finding more and more space and confidence in the field. I try to give my contribution, I guarantee that I always give my best, even if sometimes things may not go well. In the final in Verona I also had a nice ball to restart in the open field. I was saddened by the mistake, that could have been a good opportunity. It is the confirmation of what I said before, in this circumstance the fatigue that took away my lucidity in the game weighed heavily, precisely because I do not spare myself, I always try to give everything ».
Groomed. What Walter Mazzarri said in the locker room last Saturday remains within the four walls of Assemini. But the coach’s words certainly left their mark, stung the group in pride, because there was a reaction. Not only on the level of the game but also on the character and mental one. «Everyone at the” Bentegodi “, but it also happened in the other matches, including those who entered the race, we played with the heart and the desire to fight for this jersey, which, believe me, we care a lot. We want to show that this squad is worth much more than what the current ranking says. I think this is the right attitude to have in all races and I’m sure it will be like that ».
Belief. Mazzarri perhaps took longer than necessary to find the right team, thanks to injuries, suspensions and a good dose of bad luck, which in any case is not the main cause if Cagliaari is next to last. «We are working hard with the coach – underlines Bellanova -. He takes into consideration many aspects and systems of play. We do not stick to a single module but we must be able to change during the game as needed. We have to believe in what we do as we have seen in the last three games. We miss the two points with Salernitana and they weigh a lot. But you will see that we won’t commit some mistakes anymore ».
Head to Turin. The next opponent, Monday at Unipol Domus, is the grenade team. «We are already focused on this challenge that we will try to win. If we succeed, a big step forward will have been made. We have to think race after race and take home as many points as possible. The? I hope to play and make my contribution. The fans will help us again this time ».
