Another empty lap for Cagliariwhich now looks down on practically all the other rivals for salvation in Serie A. The message that reaches the ears of the new coach David Nicholas It is clear and tells that the Sardinians will have to work hard to avoid being sucked into a vortex from which it is often difficult to escape.
The numbers are not flattering and at the moment they are not in favour of Cagliari: Nicola’s team, after 5 league games, is clearly the worst attack in Serie A, with only one goal scored in the opening 450 minutes of the tournament. The rossoblù have not found the back of the net for almost a month, the last and only one scored so far by the Sardinians dates back to August 26 and was the momentary lead over Como scored by Piccoli, for a match that however ended in a draw with the subsequent scratch by Cutrone.
Adding to the weight of the calculation is the fact that the calendar has not reserved such an impossible start for Cagliari. and indeed it could have been a good opportunity to start the championship in the best possible way. Aside from the difficult commitments with Roma in the debut (and there, by the way, one of the two points collected so far came from there) and then with Napoli, Cagliari in the first five also faced direct rivals for salvation such as Lecce, Como and finally Empoli. From these three matches only one point came, the two defeats against the Salento and Tuscan teams have instead opened a chasm of doubts under Nicola’s feet. Now it’s up to him to prove that the rumors are not true according to which his specialty is to come on to save desperate situations and that instead he is not ideal to lead a team from the beginning of the year.
