Jose Luis Palominodefender of Cagliari, making his first start today against Bologna, after the defeat against Unipol Domus spoke to the club’s official channels: “There is regret: we played our match, with the right spirit. Pressing, a mentality offensive. We deserved the goal, but it didn’t come. Even down by two goals, we had chances to open it up again. Bologna, on the other hand, was good at taking advantage of their few opportunities: they are a strong, technical team that doesn’t this is the Champions League. We must build on what we have done well, but at the same time work to grow, to improve in those details that made the difference today.”
Trust in the group?
“We have room for growth, especially when things aren’t going the right way we all have to do a little more. Ours is a team at the beginning of a journey, we know we have to work hard, we will analyze and correct the mistakes: even from this defeat we will learn something to do better, starting from the next match. I have faith in this team.”
Today is your first as a starter, do you feel like you’re growing?
“Personally I’m feeling good, I want to give my contribution to my teammates. I feel good. But it’s still not enough: I feel I can still grow, with work. As I play more, the condition grows. Our public supported us today too, it’s nice: like us, obviously, they would have wanted a different result. Today it didn’t happen, let’s move on.”
Goal to achieve?
“We will immediately start preparing for Lazio, training giving our best. This is our reaction. We will play away, it will be a tough match physically, against a strong team. But we think about ourselves: we will take the field with our identity, with the desire to score points, as always, regardless of the opponent. We have a goal, we want to achieve it.”
