It's the match of the year for Cagliari and even if it's there, it's also worth making a journey that's certainly not easy. To reach Bari there are no alternatives to a logistically complex away trip, but the passion for the rossoblù colors and the desire to return to Serie A overcome the difficulties to get to San Nicola.
There are those who have already left, yesterday at 20.30 from Olbia by ship towards Livorno and then move towards Puglia by car, and those who instead leave at dawn. "Let's hope everything goes well, also to better face the return on Monday morning", the message from the group of the Cagliari Club Coordination Center, which left Cagliari yesterday at lunchtime: a real exodus, which between the round trips will last two days. With the fans who also bring rigorous superstitions with them: amulets, lucky charm shirts and scarves and even rock salt
Guests sector
Among the 1,200 supporters of the sector guests not only Sardinians or in any case from Sardinia. «I'm leaving Florence early in the morning, by car», the program by Valentina Mura of the Cagliari Club on the Island of Elba, one of the 57 who report to the Coordination Center (which will be attended by everyone), «I'll be with my mum, from Villaputzu , and my 6-year-old son who has been in love with Cagliari since Lovato gave him the shirt at Empoli, plus two friends from Milan».
The exodus
It's not easy to get to Bari from the island: an attempt was made to organize a charter flight, but due to the excessive costs (over 500 euros each) it was not possible. And a further complication was given by the limited time needed to set up the away match: «We couldn't move without having tickets for the stadium, which went out on Thursday», says Maria Paola Cappai of the Cagliari Fan Club Pozzomaggiore.
In Cagliari
And it will also be a curve in front of the giant screen of the Cagliari Fair, where 4,500 rossoblù fans will gather. Glass and metal are prohibited, some simple rules to avoid, Truzzu explained, the events in Turin when, during the 2017 Juve-Real Madrid Champions League final, a tragedy occurred in Piazza San Carlo, with three dead in the crowd caused by a group of boys spraying pepper spray.
The mayor, on the other hand, will be at San Nicola: «I was lucky enough to make many trips, even before becoming mayor. But this is one of the most important." He says he is confident, but doesn't say too much about the outcome: «It will be very hard, it will be a battle and we hope to emerge victorious. The important thing will be to shed every drop of sweat, then sport is like this: sometimes it's good, other times it's bad».
probable lineup
Skilled and enlisted Nandez and Mancosu, in doubt until the end. Ranieri finds Dossena in central defense and should line up his team as follows: Radunovic, Zappa, Dossena, Obert, Azzi, Nandez, Makoumbou, Deiola, Luvumbo, Mancosu, Lapadula.
Kick-off at 20.30, conducts Guida di Torre Annunziata. Only one result available to achieve an immediate return to Serie A after last year's painful relegation: victory.
