Cagliari confirms itself as the most ‘Italian’ team in Serie A. An analysis of the last round of the championship reveals surprising data on the use of national players by the Sardinian club.
A statistical analysis confirms Cagliari as the Serie A team that gives the most space to Italian footballers. This record, which highlights a clear corporate philosophy, was further reaffirmed by the data that emerged in the last round of the championship, demonstrating the continuity of a precise choice by the club.
A record confirmed by the numbers
With a percentage of 73.7% of the total minutes played entrusted to national talents, Cagliari not only leads this special ranking, but clearly distances itself from the other teams. To confirm this trend, in the analysis of the 14th day of the championship, president Giulini’s team stood out for having fielded eight Italian players from the first minute. In the match against Roma, the total number of Italians on the pitch from the start was eleven out of twenty-two, demonstrating a strategy that enhances the players of our country in a general context of Serie A where their presence is increasingly reduced, with just 30% of Italian starters in the last round.
