Robert Freshwater was today’s guest on Radiolina in the program “Il Cagliari in diretta”. These are his words reported by tuttocagliari.net: “The goal instinct can certainly be trained. It’s all part of a circle, but also at times: in some cases you find yourself in the right place at the right time, in others the ball doesn’t want to go in.”
Small? “I saw him well in the first two games, I really liked him in the support phase, he linked the game well. Combining technical quality with physical strength is not easy. In the last two games he perhaps did not perform as well as he expected. He must not fall into goal anxiety, he must be mentally strong and then the goal will come”.
Luvumbo? “The coach sees the players during the week and if he lines up Zito it’s because he gives him guarantees. Clearly he has to improve in front of goal and in terms of choices. He has to remain more lucid, but even if he’s young he has to take that extra step, it’s his second championship in Serie A”.
Kingston? “I don’t expect him from the first minute, given how football is experienced in Italy. He finished very well last year and deserves his chances.”
Cagliari vs Empoli? “I expect a good Cagliari, with balls. They will try to impose their game. I would like a Cagliari that dominates the field and takes home a peaceful victory, risking little. We were close already in the first match. Then after that it was a bit like that, but the team is there. I didn’t expect an Empoli like this and they were even without a coach. They did very well”.
