The Cagliari exceeds the Cremonese in the round of 32 of the Italian Cup and gives himself the Juventusthe Sardinians’ next opponent in the competition. The coach David Nicholasin the usual post-match press conference, analyzed the match and answered reporters’ questions. Here are some excerpts: among the topics, also the retreat, agreed by the owners, management and coach after the home defeat against Empoli, which leaves the rossoblù in last place in the Serie A standings. The next opponent, in the championship, is Parma at the Tardini on Monday 30 September.
How much is this victory worth?
“Juventus is worth it. I would have liked to score a bit more, but that’s fine. In the first half I tried to experiment a bit with a sort of 4-2-3-1, trying to attack the spaces. In fact I’ve been working on this for a few days.”
Who surprised you in a positive way?
“Felici still has to grow in personality, he has quality in one-on-one situations. But also Adopo, Palomino: they are all players who played a good match. They didn’t make us miss the so-called starters”.
The retreat?“From what you guys are saying, it seems like a strange thing, for us it’s just a way to stay focused and work with as many players as possible that we didn’t have before. We’ve filled the time with video and from tomorrow we’ll come back and train: it’s important to stay together and integrate those who haven’t had much training with us in retreat”.
