A few minutes before the kick-off of the match against Empoli, the general manager of Cagliari, Stefano Melisspoke to DAZN microphones, returning to the unpleasant episodes that occurred during the match against Napoli and commenting on the team’s current situation.
The away match in Naples, which ended with a 2-0 defeat, left heavy aftermaths at Cagliari. Not only for the negative result, but above all for the unsportsmanlike behavior of some rossoblù fans, promptly condemned by the club.
“It was a week of reflection for everyone,” Melis said. “We were hurt by what happened in the stands during Cagliari-Napoli. We condemn all forms of violence, verbal and physical. Our commitment against violence is constant, as demonstrated by projects such as Curva Futura and Tifo Positivo, dedicated to children. We want a stadium that is a place of fun and positive values for families.”
The general manager then shifted attention to the match against Empoli, crucial for Nicola’s team still chasing their first win in the championship: “We are at the beginning of the journey, we want to collect as many points as possible. The team creates a lot but does not capitalize, more cynicism is needed. There is no lack of confidence, we hope that today is the right day to reverse the trend”.
