After the knockout against the Pisa and the break for the national teams, the Cesena Of Michele Mignani he is ready to return to the field tomorrow at the ‘Manuzzi’ against Sampdoria. On the match against the Blucerchiati, the Romagna coach expressed himself during the usual pre-match press conference: “The break sometimes helps you get over disappointments, but we must be aware that if we are not on the ball every match, and do not bring field intensity and enthusiasm, we struggle with everyone. This is a very balanced championship and we start again tomorrow, we face a very strong team, which in my opinion will stabilize in the top positions and we must bring back what we missed in the last match.
I expect a difficult challenge against a strong, physical team that needs points like us. It comes from a change of coach, who has certainly had the opportunity to work on the group in these two weeks. I imagine a beautiful and stimulating match, because the matches against these teams are always stimulating: Sampdoria is a club with tradition, they have been in Serie A for many years and we must expect a tough and difficult match.
I have faced Sampdoria many times even as a player, for me it is always a special match because I was born in Genoa and grew up in the Sampdoria youth sector; therefore, they are colors that I have worn and I recognize the fact that they do not leave me indifferent. But when the match starts on the field there are no more friends and you have to think about winning it, this is how it has always been and this will be the same tomorrow.
Kargbo can be called up, he’s fine, he’s done the last two training sessions with the team and for me this means he’s fine. It’s clear that when you go to the national team, no matter how much we maintain constant contact, you lose a bit of the feeling of having him every day. We have to make the right choices based on who is better, but Kargbo will certainly be involved.”
