How to change the face of the defense: how important the presence of Yerry Mina is in Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari defense
Lacks and absence, presence and leadership. Yerry Mina has become more than fundamental to the Cagliari. The team of Claudio Ranieri he found the player who was missing for the entire first part of the season. The island environment wonders how this team’s championship would have gone with Mina at the center of defense from the first days of Serie A. The change in the team’s façade based on the presence or absence of the Colombian on the pitch is evident. As today’s columns also report Corriere dello Sport, it’s no secret that Yerry Mina is a beacon of security for Cagliari’s defense. His absence is felt: the rearguard seems to lose its solidity and the determination it always transmits when it takes the field. Against the Genoa (match missed due to injury), the rossoblù defenders once again showed their limits. However, all it takes is for Mina to return to the field and everything changes radically. Decisive for better and, sometimes, for worse.
