In the press conference before the very important survival match against Lecce, the Cagliari coach Claudio Ranieri he also took stock of the many players with physical problems in the Sardinian squad.
What is the situation of the injured?
“They are recovering. Some have only recovered today, I’ll see tomorrow. Nandez, Dossena and Oristanio are a little better, Mina a little less. What has Genoa left behind? It was a freezing shower. It was needed, because after a series of matches nice, the opponent ate us. Against Lecce it will be a Verona-style match, a very difficult opponent to face.”
Is Petagna recovering?
“Yes, Pavoletti too. Mancosu is also starting to race again. They are all positive flashes.”
Why did he give up Sulemana and Makoumbou in Genoa?
“I also had other elements that I had seen well. I made choices to maximize my efforts. I wouldn’t have wanted Nandez to play because he had a fever. Every choice was weighed.”
What will salvation mean to you?
“That I have done well in the 5 major championships, that I have managed to bring so many people to the stadium. I certainly make my mistakes, I hope to make fewer and fewer of them.”
How do you see Lapadula?
“He’s getting better and better. Today he had an excellent training session. The more players I have available, the less opportunity I have to make mistakes. When they’re not well, the discrepancies are more noticeable.”
