We displayed qualities on the pitch that we hadn\u2019t shown in the past.\u201d Regarding the final incident involving his Juventus counterpart, he noted: \u201cIt could have all ended with a hug.\u201d The applause from the Unipol Domus crowd, the team\u2019s performance, and the development of the young players take center stage in his analysis.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PERFORMANCE<br\/><\/strong>\u201cLeaving the pitch to the crowd\u2019s applause is gratifying and shows us that we have the right spirit. We could easily have lost today\u2014and no one could have complained\u2014given that Juventus possesses strength and financial resources far beyond ours. My team showed the right attitude\u2014the same one they had before the break\u2014and a willingness to dig deep together and accomplish our mission. We must never lose that spirit. Facing a powerhouse like Juventus, I told my staff that if we lost, I wouldn\u2019t be able to fault the lads for anything. We played the match exactly as we had prepared for it. We want to manage a draw better, within the limits of our capabilities; that is an area where we need to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>THE FINALE AND THE CONFRONTATION WITH SPALLETTI<br\/><\/strong>&#8220;The final episode could have ended with a hug. It&#8217;s sad to see certain things, but if Juventus is worried on matchday six about not winning in Cagliari, it means we&#8217;re on the right path. I respect the coach a lot and I understand that today he has to say certain things to justify the draw. We&#8217;re fighting for different objectives and Juventus should be disappointed: we played our game according to our possibilities and our objectives. From what they tell me, even at the end of the first half there was a a bit of nervousness. It&#8217;s a shame, but it&#8217;s there because Juventus has to win in Cagliari and has different objectives from ours. The sending off is the rule: in the event of a mass confrontation the referees have to draw the red card. I&#8217;ll have to improve with experience in managing certain hot final situations.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TACTICAL STRATEGY AND CHANGES DURING THE MATCH<br\/><\/strong>&#8220;We tried to develop a 4-3-3, doubling the external chains of Juventus, which has quality and speed. Today everyone did well back there, both in the first and second half. As much as you can work hard and insert players to strengthen the external chains, against such strong teams you have to concede something. If Arsenal, who everyone praises, does it, I don&#8217;t see why Cagliari can&#8217;t lower themselves in certain situations. I applaud Captain Deiola, because he demonstrates once again the spirit that it&#8217;s necessary to wear this shirt, returning after eleven days from an injury, even unexpectedly. Rodriguez had received the yellow card and was coming from an intercontinental trip: we didn&#8217;t want to risk having regrets in managing the boys. Then, as always, the final result counts and you are judged on that. I believe, however, that whoever entered the race never lowered the quality and intensity of the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MASSOLIN AND THE CONFIDENCE ON THE YOUNG PLAYERS<br\/><\/strong>\u201cWe are pleased to have given Massolin his debut today. We had no doubts about him; he is a player with quality who didn\u2019t feature in Inter\u2019s pre-season matches this summer. We need everyone, and he performed well. I am confident we will all improve\u2014both in and out of possession\u2014by working hard every day. The fact that he played a match like this shows he has talent and that we believe in him. We are lowering the average age of the squad even further and demonstrating the significant potential within our group and all its resources. I try not to overload the players with information, but rather give them the freedom to express what we believe in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MALDINI AND WINKS<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;Daniel is talented and knows that there are people here who trust him and lend him a hand. The results, little by little, can be seen. He must move dynamically and recognize the space: today he did it excellently. I try to put the boys in a position to learn more about the information that matters. Winks has an important path and is already a leader of the team, one of the captains.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SATISFACTION AND MATCH ANALYSIS<\/strong><br\/>\u201cI\u2019m going home today more satisfied than I was after last year\u2019s win, because we demonstrated qualities on the pitch that we hadn\u2019t shown in the past. You often shouldn\u2019t let victories mislead you, and the same applies when the result doesn\u2019t go your way. I wouldn\u2019t call it a case of \u2018what might have been.\u2019 We need to keep a clear head and analyze the match rationally: we could easily have lost, yet there were many positive aspects to the game, alongside others that we certainly need to examine. In the second half, we suffered a bit of a drop in sharpness, but that was understandable given that we had truly given it our all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MENDY AND HIS DEVELOPMENT<\/strong><br\/>\u201cMendy is destined for a top-level career. He has grown day by day since arriving and has become increasingly at ease. Playing up front on your own isn\u2019t easy; you need balance, and it can leave you stretched. These lads\u2014Paul included\u2014need confidence. He is gaining more and more of it, and the results are showing in his performances and goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CAGLIARI&#8217; SPIRIT<\/strong><br\/>\u201cThese lads deserve praise for what they have achieved so far. There is no need to tell them to keep their feet on the ground; I know this league well and understand the importance of staying focused. The long break was significant, yet I saw the same old Cagliari side upon our return, even after so many players had been away on international duty. We have a strong squad with great character\u2014a group eager to earn the passion of our extraordinary fanbase. We want to challenge every opponent and secure safety by playing a different brand of football, always displaying the spirit that has defined us since last season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27720,"template":"","tags":[492],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-27742","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cagliari-juventus-en","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
