Cagliari: who rises and who falls after the victorious match against Frosinone .
Who's going up: Raphael Kofler
After all, coach Pisacane has been repeating it for weeks: "Don't forget that Kofler is also here." He's always put him on the same level as Mina, Rodríguez, and Deiola, just waiting for the right moment to bring him in, and on the eve of Cagliari-Frosinone he went all out: "He's the future of Italian football." And that future is now. In his first start, the former Südtirol defender was exemplary. Always clear-headed, reactive, and with an enviable competitive spirit in one-on-one situations. Ruthless. Determined. Decisive, in short. Despite his inexperience and the fact that he turned 21 in April. Of course, it's becoming complicated to remove him now to make room for Mina.
Who's coming down: Kevin Carlos
Is he pretending or is he pretending?, more than one fan wondered at the Domus on Saturday, stunned (and annoyed) by his impact on such a tight match while the rest of the team worked so hard. Soft, static, out of context most of the time. Inaccurate. He handled the few balls he got horribly, and when he found himself alone in front of the goalkeeper and could have done a million things, he kicked it sky-high. In short, bordering on embarrassing. And it makes you wonder if the problem is still tactical (coming from a less strategic league), environmental, character-related, physical, athletic, or simply technical.
