The Cagliari by Davide Nicola he obtained salvation by beating the Venice of Eusebio By Francis and will close his championship on the field of Naplesin a challenge that is worth the Scudetto. The Sardinians have nothing more to ask the championship but they will not want to disfigure the Maradona while Conte’s boys with a victory would be champions of Italy for the fourth time. In case of success for the Azzurri, in fact, a possible victory of theInter In Como, given the advantage point for the Neapolitans. The only scenario for the possible Scudetto playoff is a victory of Cagliari and an Inter draw. To defend the door of the Sardinians, however, there will not be Capilegoalkeeper owned by Napoli, who landed in January in rossoblù just to relaunch himself. The goalkeeper will miss physical problems.

Cagliari, Nicola wants to close with a serious race

The coach of Cagliari Thus presents the race of the “Maradona” stadium ((Naples-CagliariFriday 23 May at 8.45 pm) at the press conference, starting from injured: “Of course There will be no Gaetano and Caprilewho played injured in the match against Venice. I thank him for being on the pitch despite the problem. Unfortunately it is a first degree distraction in the leg. Luvumbo will not be there and Pavoletti brings behind this knee problem. Zortea is doing an ultrasound, we will see: if he’s fine I will contain, otherwise I will focus on someone else to show your qualities. Mina and Luperto will be there. Tomorrow we will see a great race, it seems that Como and Cagliari have become a crossroads for the Scudetto. If Inter and Cagliari will play it. We are serious people and we will do our race“.

On its future:VOglio Create something with Cagliari. But if I talked about the future now I would not be concentrated on tomorrow’s race. A new year will be born with a further year of experience. In Naples we want to do our best, little, but safe. “

Planning on Post Venice Words:Post Venice consideration on the value of ours salvationwhich could come first but I don’t think it is like this: a quiet championship, which rarely saw us in the relegation zone, all in all. Making a quality jump is not easy. Our value reflects that of a group that must fight for salvationalthough you want to improve“.

On the Cagliari season, Nicola:I think Cagliari made a Signor championshipwhat the club he had to do. The satisfaction of the last game is as it came. We have achieved our goal but we want to improve ourselves. We will play our game; others think of their goals and think about theirs“.

On Cagliari that will have the free mind while the Napoli who will press. Open game? “The difference with Napoli is abysmal but we will give everything. I think that All games are open And this was worth for all our games. I don’t know if we will be so skilled but, of course, I prepare to do the best. Pressure? Those who fight for those goals are used to and it is clear that the tension increases after match. For example, I would not be able to live without pressure. The important thing will be to go out with the high head“.

On little ones and how his season and his evaluation for the future of the player is considered: “Roberto arrived in an operation that included three young people. Laterfor example, he had made a great championship the first year but from now on he started to do another step (improve in numbers): the same goes for Capile and for Small. It is necessary to improve and stand out on certain figures. I was able to do it in an environment that gave him confidence and that the ‘awaitedor. They are three players who must become a Cagliari heritage “.

Upon possible debut of the third goalkeeper Ciocci: “I love him and to Jankto (not employed this year) to make Ciocci debut I will have to see to do it in certain dynamics of the matches. If I can gratify a player and make him make his debut I will do it but I have to think, the same to be competitive“.

On Makoumbou who almost never pulls when he has the possibility:With Venice he played a great game. On the fact that it can improve on the shot or on the header is certain but you have to improve day by day. If a player is ambitious he will improve and I’m sure he is like this but he is constantly present. In the middle of the field it gives large quantities. It makes great games but must make ten in a row to improve. It will be his task to try to improve to make that more step ”.

On the few victories with the big ones:True but often it can be done well with the big names and then don’t save yourself. It must be said that, however, We have always shown the best with the big names, also making important draws (See Milan or Atalanta). If you want to win with the big names, perhaps, you have to change the objectives. We have players who improve after a year and others will put more on it while other teams already have players ready immediately. It would be like challenging Usain Bolt: I’m sure he is faster than me, but I gradually want to see if I can get him a few seconds “.
