Another positive result for the Cagliari of Claudio Ranieri who, after beating Atalanta and drawing against Inter at San Siro, also stopped Juventus. In Sardinia it ended 2-2, with the home team taking the lead thanks to two penalty kicks and the Bianconeri managing to get back into the game in the second half, with a goal right at the end of the match.
The words of Claudio Ranieri
Here’s how the coach of the Sardinian team spoke at the end of the match his team drew against Juventus:
There is trust, we have to fight for every ball then there are episodes that can turn for or against. We were playing against a great team, with Juventus you always have to be on your guard. It’s a shame, because we conceded two very avoidable goals.
My players were disappointed, dejected, but I told them to think about what they did in these last three games. I told him that it’s not over yet, but I’m sure that if we stay united and fight like this we will stay in Serie A. I hope that the people of Sardinia are proud of these guys, because they give everything on the pitch. This is a beautiful championship, where everyone wants to save themselves. We pulled ourselves out after being underwater without breathing, but we’re not done yet. The guys help each other, they talked to each other and this shows that when a team gets stronger sooner or later it manages to get the episodes rolling. I don’t do calculations, I just said that there should be salvation at 36-37 points, but I’m waiting because the math is missing. We’ll get there one point at a time.
The games that remain to be played
Cagliari will now have to face Genoa at Marassi before the home match against Gotti’s Lecce. Then San Siro against Milan, Sassuolo at Mapei and Fiorentina at home to end a championship which saw the Sardinians always close to the last 3 positions. The 5 points gained in the last three matches against three big names in our championship, however, give Claudio Ranieri hope, who said he is convinced of survival.
