12.45 In fifteen minutes the Cagliari coach, Claudio Ranieri, will present Monday evening’s match away to Genoa to the press. The rossoblù have obtained 5 points in the last three matches against Atalanta, Inter and Juventus. But the fight not to be relegated is always alive, no one gives up even an inch.
1.01pm The conference begins.
Is there a danger of underestimating the opponent?
“We know the strength of the opponent. We won in the first leg, but in the final they had many opportunities. We must be compact and do our job as best we can.”
How are Oristanio and Petagna?
“Well, both of them could play tomorrow as a replacement for Luvumbo.”
Makoumbou seemed to be slowing down against Juve.
“I don’t agree. When you sing and bring your voice you can’t expect to always be brilliant. He played an excellent game in Milan.”
How does the salvation quota evolve?
“I told my boys to fight until the end, then we’ll see how many points we get.”
What does it mean for Genoa?
“I made my debut there as a footballer, in ’73. We lost 2-1 and my direct opponents, Corradi and Simoni, scored. As a former Samp? Genoa is a beautiful environment, the Genoa fans push hard and it will be a good match. We are ready to this final rush”.
Will Petagna be able to have his say in this finale?
“Not only that, Mancosu and then Pavoletti will also be back soon. And everyone will be able to have their say.”
Who will take the next penalty?
“We’ll see who will play. I’ll assign them, then they’ll make do.”
13.09 End of the conference.
