«We had tasted a victory that would have meant -3 from third place. It could have been that spark that mentally and enthusiastically would have helped us prepare for Saturday's game with positivity . But this makes me understand that very little is needed and we have to look for this little every game, hoping that Saturday is the right occasion».

This was Mr. Liverani's comment after Cagliari's 2-2 away draw against Frosinone , with Pavoletti having his 3-2 goal canceled in the 98th minute due to a slight offside signaled by the Var.

«We got off to a good start – continues the rossoblù coach -, with four very young players. We scored goals and conceded a very avoidable one, which made us lose enthusiasm. Their double goal was very good, but we never gave up and this makes me understand that the team is alive and wants to achieve results. Between us and Frosinone the enthusiasm and mental condition is very different, but after today we must have faith in our means and in the possibility of further improving».

The Cagliari coach also spoke about Kourfalidis: «He has strength and physicality, he can play more roles in midfield. He has the right characteristics for the category, he deserved to play as a starter and will be able to deserve it in the future as well. But even those who start from the bench know that they can and must leave their mark».

As for the next matches, «we have to – explains Liverani – be a little tougher up front and have better qualities in managing the dribble. The goal is to reach 26 December trying to score as many points as possible».

LAPADULA – Regret for the lost opportunity also for striker Lapadula: «Rationally - his post-match comment - we are happy with the draw, emotionally we are disappointed because without the Var we would have won and it's a shame. However, I am very satisfied with the character and the union shown».
