Eve of Cagliari-Atalanta, before a mini cycle of three almost impossible matches. But Ranieri, in the press conference, does not want to hear talk of an early surrender: «They will be three difficult matches, of course. But at this point in the season, there will be all eight to play." Atalanta in the sights: «A real battleship, a sometimes perfect team that will face Liverpool after us. Having said that, we will have to play our game and try to score points, tomorrow and everywhere."

Ranieri sends relaxing signals to the refereeing world, even more in the crosshairs in this final phase of the season: «The referees are called upon to do a super job, there will always be mistakes. But the twenty-two on the field and all of us can help them do less of it with the right behavior. I have great faith in the referees."

Confidence also in the rossoblù, even if there have been a few too many aches and pains this week. But against Atalanta only Petagna, Pavoletti and Mancosu will be missing. And against the Goddess too, the support of the fans will be important: «They make us feel safe, we know we are in our fort. And tomorrow we are sure they will make their support felt against a great team."
