“We breathe the air and live waiting for spring” sang Marina Rei way back in 1997. The flowering season has already passed, it has given way to the sultry heat and the mistral which sometimes comes to give a bit of relief. Another one Spring however it is scheduled and it is the red-blue one. With a Cagliari who will continue to work on the soil made fertile by the last season.
Goals
A salvation earned well in advance, the playoffs were missed despite not being the objective of the season, with a hint of bitterness left in the mouth due to some missed results that could have ensured the post-season. But also the awareness of having put all the top six teams in the tournament in difficulty, including Italian champions Sassuolo, beaten in the first leg in Sardinia and held to a draw in the return leg. Spring’s balance sheet Fabio Pisacane is flanked by the sign more. And this is why in the next year, the set goal could be that of raise the bar and look without fear at the challenge of taking a group that will be renewed, but only partially, to the playoffs. With the changes that will be favored by what has been a fruitful collaboration with Claudio’s Under18 Bellucci (here to read the news of his farewell). There were several elements born in 2006 who were in some way part of both groups, from Ardau to Trepy, passing through Grandu. In a continuous flow that will facilitate the work of next year which will above all see the reference points within the system change locker room.
Names
For 2004 the Spring journey has ended. Etienne Catena, Alex Caddeo And Michele Carboni they will say goodbye to youth football and will enter the door for the grown-ups. With different destinies, especially for Carboni who will remain the property of Cagliari given the contract until 2027 and the club that will evaluate him through his probable first experience away from home (here for our in-depth analysis). The two Sardinian midfielders, however, were two of the important elements of the testing of the rossoblù changing room, which will have to demonstrate that they know how to exploit also in this sense the experience acquired. The structure of the team will be based above all on class 2006with a careful look at the entrances of the 2007 And 2008still focusing on the experiment of under age, who has proven fruitful on several occasions starting from the example of Vinciguerra, who has been a stable player in U19 for more than two seasons. The market could thus be more prospective than to reinforce training only on an annual basis. The class of 2005 are therefore excluded from the radar, with a window left for the choice of an overage player to spend with a first team perspective, as happened with Kingstone in the year just ended. In goal nothing should change with Auseklislast arrived, to compete for the place with Wodzicki. On defense, Cogoni And Pintus they should take control of operations, despite the presence of Franke – appeared growing – with Arba confirmed on the right. While on the left Idrissi should leave the post vacant. The rossoblù left-handed full-back could anticipate his exit from the Primavera championship. Physically ready and with high level technical means, the left-footed player from Sadali could gain his first experience away from the island, in Serie B (here to read), or play cards with the first team in retreat. With Mellino, already seen in the Italian Cup with the rossoblù U19 shirt, ready to take over and apply for a starting shirt. In midfield, in addition to the permanence of Marcolini And Balde (both 2005), Sulev he will be called upon to make the definitive leap in quality in playing the role of midfielder, certainly with a 2007 player alongside him Malfitano able to forge ahead. Manuel Conti could continue to be in charge, but the situation of the number 5 remains to be understood, with the distance of the family which could weigh on the choices despite Pisacane’s appreciation. The rossoblù coach also looks favorably on Nicola Granduwho in his first start in the Spring had been deployed wide on the out right, despite the leading role in U18. A puzzle about the role that can be solved with the work already to be done in the retreat. On the attacking midfield it will be Jacopo Simonetta who will have to bring that panache that will be necessary to change pace, with Ardau to undermine its primacy. While forward the duo Vinciguerra–Achour he is already ahead in the hierarchies. 2005 in Campania grew in terms of choices, with a year of 7 goals and 7 assists demonstrating the work done to remove the selfishness sometimes shown in the past. The French-Algerian striker has instead shown a feeling with Pisacane and with the goal as a true first striker for most of the season. After the 8 goals scored, often starting from the bench, the next season could be the definitive leap in quality. Similar speech for Ismael Konatewhile the club reflects on Alessandro’s situation Bolzan: the contract of the former Roma striker is about to expire but the last phase of the championship – 4 goals in the last 4 matches played – could convince Cagliari to bet on him again. With the addition of Trepy – 14 goals in the last U18 championship – to play their chances as outsiders.
