"Cagliari played a great game, especially defensive, but in the first half there was a lack of concreteness".
These are the words of mister Mazzarri to comment on Cagliari's knockout at “Diego Maradona” against leaders Napoli ( THE CHRONICLE ), who came out victorious from the match 2-0, thanks to goals from Osimhen and Insigne on a penalty kick.
"Let's not forget - underlined the rossoblù coach - that we were playing against the best team in the league who are in a state of crazy form and who have given 4-5 goals to everyone".
And again: '' We have not given much - adds the Cagliari coach - to a team that is usually a war machine. The first half could have ended 0-0, in the second half at 1-0 we wanted to make the final assault but we did the naivety to concede the penalty that cut our legs ”.
In short, for the coach “Cagliari played a good match and it was a solid team. We were missing something in the restarts and in the game. But in front of us we had champions who give you almost nothing ''.
'' I saw - adds the coach - my team is very solid compared to Wednesday when we played very badly and then there is the value of the teams to consider. We were compact, placing 10-15 meters because with a phenomenon like Osimhen, as soon as you find yourself he punishes you. We have contained it a little. But you have to look at the opportunities and Napoli have not made many. We had the first real chance of the match - concluded Mazzarri - ".
