(ANSA) – CAGLIARI, 03 MAY – “Against Lecce, Cagliari must conquer meter after meter: it will be a very difficult match, an important step towards salvation”. This is how Claudio Ranieri presents Sunday’s challenge at the Domus. The problem of problems is called infirmary: “I can see Oristanio, Dossena, Nandez better – said the rossoblù coach in the press conference the day before – Mina isn’t there yet. Of course Mina is essential: he wasn’t there against Monza and we lost, ditto with Genoa. I don’t want to talk about absences: whoever takes the field will give their all, I’m sure of it.”
Watch out for Lecce: “For me they already have Serie A in their pocket, but they are the team that has scored the most points in the last few matches among those fighting to stay in Serie A. Before they played with the 4-3-3, now with the 4 -4-2, they have two attackers who move a lot. They are a compact team that fights: statistically in individual duels they have the same numbers as Verona. A bad match against Genoa: “We’ll see the consequences on the pitch – explained Ranieri – perhaps it was a cold shower but it was needed. We have to demonstrate that we know how to react, especially at this moment because we’re on the final straight”. Pavoletti and Mancosu also see each other again in attack, but perhaps it is too early for a call-up. Ranieri asks for the public’s help: “It will be a hard-fought match on every inch of the pitch, the public must give us the push but must also have patience because nothing will be easy.” Salvation? “It would mean having done well – he concluded – in the five years that I have been in Cagliari. I am happy when the fans are proud and happy with their team”. (HANDLE). .
