Head first, then feet and tactics.
This is the formula that Leonardo Semplici wants to apply to lift Cagliari from the third last place in the standings.
"I found a downcast team - he explained in his first press conference - my job will be first of all to act on the head of the team by transmitting lightheartedness and determination to try to do this feat. I made this choice because I am convinced that there are possibilities to reach the goal. I am convinced that I can mentally free the boys. I believe that the means to get out of this situation are available starting on Sunday ".
First impressions of the team? "I saw in the eyes of the players - he continued - the desire to put this situation behind us. Tactical module? I will bring my ideas to put them in a position to do well. I believe a lot in the mental aspect: seeing some games the players seemed to be on the brake hand pulled, I wish they had a more carefree approach. " Few but precise indications: "We will continue with the module of the last matches - he explained - clearly with tricks that are part of my type of job. There is a very valuable squad, I don't think it is a problem of positioning of this or that player . We hope to bring freshness and lightheartedness ". An appeal to the fans: "Sorso's experience made me know this great land better - he explained - and we need to assert this sense of belonging. The fans are essential even away from the stadium. An appeal: when you see the boys around in the city, encourage them. So we can do it. "
