The retreat did not yield the desired results, at least in terms of points. Cagliari leaves the match against Genoa with a 1-1 that does not solve the problems , but for Davide Nicola it is not all to be thrown away: «Bad in the second half? In reality we returned with the conviction of raising the center of gravity, which we had lowered in the last five minutes of the first half», the coach's evaluation in contrast. «The result of parity is fair, on the goal we were a bit unprepared. We will analyze this aspect, we will see if it is a question of coming back in the second half or of things that need to improve. But the boys played a tough match against an opponent who has quality: we did well in the first half hour».
Nicola admits that Cagliari has changed something in the last matches. «When we play at home we want to make our fans happy», he underlines. « Against Atalanta, Juventus and Bologna we had chosen a more cautious tactic, today we had decided to return to the aggression we wanted . We had to not lose hurry and find the situation to get back in the lead. After the goal we tried not to unbalance ourselves further».
Still on the goal conceded, Nicola draws a parallel with Orsolini's in Bologna: «We definitely had to try to do something more, but the lads know this. In my opinion, I repeat, we will get to play matches where we are in a position to play even more than half an hour with this intensity: obviously it is never easy, because the opponents we meet are very strong . We have our qualities and our defects, like the opponents, but paradoxically one of the best maneuvers was on the disallowed goal. We must know that, every now and then, you have to go vertical to collect the second ball and go away quickly».
