12.45 In fifteen minutes the Cagliari coach, Claudio Ranieri, will present Monday evening’s match away to Genoa to the press. The rossoblù have obtained 5 points in the last three matches against Atalanta, Inter and Juventus. But the fight not to be relegated is always alive, no one gives up even an inch.
1.01pm The conference begins.
Is there a danger of underestimating the opponent?
“We know the strength of the opponent. We won in the first leg, but in the end they had many opportunities.”
How are Oristanio and Petagna?
“Well, both of them could play tomorrow as a replacement for Luvumbo.”
Makoumbou seemed to be slowing down against Juve.
“I don’t agree. When you sing and bring your voice you can’t expect to always be brilliant. He played an excellent game in Milan.”
How does the salvation quota evolve?
“I told my boys to fight until the end, then we’ll see how many points we get.”
What does it mean for Genoa?
“I made my debut there as a footballer, in ’73. We lost 2-1 and my direct opponents, Corradi and Simoni, scored. As a former Sampdoria player? Genoa is a beautiful environment, the Genoa fans push hard and it will be a good match.”
