PRESS ROOM | Nicola dopo Cagliari-Como
At the end of the match between Cagliari and Como, which ended in a 1-1 draw, mister Davide Nicola analyzed his team’s performance and the rossoblù moment.
THE MATCH
“We faced two teams with quality players, Roma and Como, but at the same time they were two important matches for us. “We are waiting for Palomino, who accumulated important minutes today, and the absence of Zortea makes it difficult to have more options to change in certain positions. In my opinion it was a voluntary back pass in the final phase of the match after the save on Lapadula, but ultimately the draw is fair and the team showed its value once again. The boys are responding well, they want to be aggressive and create play. We are getting points and offering important performances. I am happy and so we move forward working hard every day. There is still a lot to improve, we will face opponents of various ranks and with different characteristics, we must be good at interpreting the various moments of the match. We started strong, then in the long run we felt the fatigue. I would have liked to include Felici too, but Augello had problems with fatigue. Mina? Important player for us, he will improve with time, I am happy with his performance and he will give us a lot in terms of charisma and characteristics, once he paid a bit physically we dropped as is normal. As long as the condition helped us, we did well. In general, we created more than last week”.
DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE
“We’ll see whether to beef up the midfield or listen to the requests of players who could go elsewhere for various reasons. Today I wanted to include Mina and Palomino also to speed up their integration process. Mina has done well and can do even more, but she needs time to train well, and she came from a week where she didn’t miss a single training session. We’re happy, we’re working really well and we have to continue like this. Our philosophy is to play football with proposal and courage, increasing awareness and improving in terms of intensity and building our identity. We know that time is needed and we are confident, today was an important test and so will the first away match in Lecce, where we can grow from a mental and personality point of view, the hope is always to interpret the matches in the same way at home and away, but it’s normal to have to take a step from that point of view and we will put ourselves to the test as always”.
