Matteo PratiCagliari midfielder, scored his first goal in Serie A against Sassuolo, a goal that saved the Sardinians, and af “When I saw the ball arrive I thought about shooting, then I saw all the people cheering and I wanted to throw myself with them, but it wasn’t possible. This goal is dedicated to them. When we faced Atalanta, Inter and Juventus we felt an extra push. With these fans it’s impossible not to try to bring the victory home. I’m really happy, maybe I still haven’t realized what happened. Deiola? The captain has always supported us, we deserve this salvation.”
