The strong mistral wind was the great protagonist of Cagliari 's training session this morning. Doors open for the fans in Asseminello and, as always, the most convinced applause came as Ranieri entered the field .
The first positive news in the warm-up, which was also attended by Viola and Kourfalidis, with the Greek who also carried out the ball possession drill on a reduced pitch, before moving, with the point guard, Luvumbo and Delpupo, onto the adjacent pitch to continue in the differentiated. Pavoletti and Rog are also out.
Ranieri played an all-court practice match, which ended in a draw, 1-1, with goals from Falco for the team in green and Lella for the reds. Two goals from Lapadula and Mancosu were canceled for offside.
And Deiola was also seen on the pitch , first employed as a midfielder with the second-line team and then as play with the formation closest to the starting one. But now the role counts for little. «It's been a tough three months, being away from the pitch hurts. I thank the doctors, the physiotherapists, all those who helped me. Now I'm ready, I'm just waiting for the right playing time».
Deiola looks to the match against Reggina: «They will want to score points, but we have to think only of doing ours. Nine finals await us, let's try to do our best and then, on May 19, we'll do the math. As the coach says, we try to get as high as possible, even in second place, as long as the math allows us to do it». Deiola returned to the field in the final with Ascoli, but the first call-up arrived in Venice. Not just any pitch: «I asked to be called up, even if I couldn't play, to stay close to my teammates. Of course, I thought back to what happened last May. What happened is not forgotten. The memory hurts, but it must be used to make it even more».
