"The break came at the right time; it allowed us to recover mental energy and those players who gave and spent so much. Now, after such a long break, I expect to see the same willingness, the same sacrifice, the same mentality . And the same enthusiasm, the same pace, the same connection."
Fabio Pisacane is already in full Cagliari-Juventus mode, scheduled for tomorrow at 8:45 PM at the Unipol Domus . "We've prepared for the match like any other. We're facing a top-caliber team, and we'll have to show all our DNA, that of a team that never gives up ," said the Rossoblu coach during the press conference at the Crai Sport Center in Assemini, immediately after the final training session. The coach emphasizes the opponent's strength, but he's certainly not holding back—quite the opposite. "Maximum respect, but we're playing at home, with a full stadium," he reminds us, not surprisingly. He then adds: "We don't suffer from vertigo. However, we know what our goals are and how much suffering it took to earn these twelve points."
Nzola's first call-up. "He's done the necessary fitness training and is ready." Deiola and Carlos are also among those called up. "Alessandro has accelerated; the break has helped him, but we'll have to evaluate his pain threshold. He'll be in the game, as will Kevin, who, however, hasn't returned to the squad but is fine."
Rather, what kind of Juventus will it be? "I expect a team that wants to play football and take control of the game," he said. "A team with quality and structure from midfield up. In these first five matchdays, they've had a very clear identity. And we'll have to be good at making life difficult for them."
