Technique and tactics are fine but in the beautiful metaphor that sport represents, when you find yourself faced with the prospect of relegation you need courage, determination and emotional strength. Cagliari faces the Devil, hurt more than ever by circumstances and, therefore, unpredictable. Everyone is there to provoke it, to trace its failure, forgetting that it is still second in the rankings, despite the last bad period. It would be easy to run away but instead Cagliari must face him, they must look him in the eye, they must try to beat him.
He must not be impressed by his wounds, he must exploit them, magnify them, points are needed. Otherwise it is all too easy to think that at the mouths of hell, in the placid waters of Acheron, the river of pain navigated by Charon, the last two battles would become desperate. However, it is a confrontation between men, temperamentally tested by the situation, many already projected towards the future, and the will, the attention, the coolness, the concentration, the self-esteem, the strength of the group, in matches like this make the difference even more .
The choices for the match must also be made considering the emotional and character state of form and not just the technical and athletic one. We need square people who know how to handle pressure and turn it into a strength, without any fear. These are elements that can overturn the values of the championship and create a result that in other times would be sensational, on the verge of the impossible. Oristanio returns and there will be no disqualified Gaetano and Augello. The left lane, already the Achilles’ heel of the rossoblu team, must be armored.
The external hypothesis of Obert is more than probable even if perhaps the time has come to also draw from the Primavera where the profile in the role is not at all immature. For the rest, defense with its central giants, right flank where the choice is threefold as well as in the midfield. In attack the certainty is Luvumbo with Shomurodov having an advantage over Lapadula also due to the better combination with the Angolan player. The anticipated return of the anti-aircraft fighters, Petagna and Pavoletti, is another resource to be taken into consideration in the logic of the ninety minutes. The important thing is for everyone to know that it won’t be a picnic on the San Siro lawn. But not even a defeat already acquired.
