"We have to improve. Too many coup plotters. And 15 points are not enough: we need to do more."
Cagliari coach Claudio Ranieri warns the team ahead of the match against Bologna.
On the one hand, a great desire to get a full result, on the other, a thousand pitfalls, even without Zirkzee. "Bologna are one of the teams that has improved the most compared to last year," Ranieri said. Congratulations to the club and the coach who is doing a great job. They are first in terms of the number of passes, it is a team that spins the ball to put you to sleep and slip you vertically. We will have to be careful, they are a very dangerous opponent as the standings show."
Practically we start from scratch: the advantage over the relegation zone is one point: "The fight for salvation is wide open, it will be tight until the end. We know we have to sell first in order to strengthen ourselves on the market, now we just have to regroup and fight by giving everything we have." Lastrada? Made up of compactness and work: "Compactness is found by working, talking to the guys and pointing out to them where they need to improve. The only way I know has always been work, if you get into the heads of the guys individually, the team also improves. I'm happy with my guys, I just wish they didn't fall into the episodes of lack of clarity and little craft. We need to be more mischievous."
Nandez? "What interests me is that he trains well and always gives everything and you know him, he knows how to carry the team on his shoulders like few others. He may need someone to cover him when he 'gasses' forward, but he's always there and his outbursts are important to us."
In attack it's an emergency: "When a coach puts the first eleven on the field he already foresees what can happen and the possible counter-moves, having so many unavailable takes away options but we will be able to make up for it and there are solutions. Petagna and Pavoletti have already played together, I'll decide between now and Sunday.
Daniels? He's recovering and he'll be on the bench."
