On the eve of Cagliari-Como, the most awaited match especially for the new debut of Claudio Ranieri on the rossoblù bench. The technician does not hide his emotion, despite over thirty years of experience: "I do this job to get excited, tomorrow will be a day full of sensations, to be lived with the desire to give satisfaction to our people".

Ranieri is already tuned into the match: “Como are a square team, we'll have to be concentrated especially when we have the ball due to their ability to hit on the counterattack. It will be a tough match and I'd be happy to win even if I play badly. Maybe 1-0, like in '76, on the day of Riva's last goal”.

Message for the fans: " The stadium will be full, it's a huge pleasure, but I ask the fans to stay close to us, to push us, especially in difficult moments, because I can't do it alone ".

A well-hidden formation, with many absences: Viola and Goldaniga join Obert, Mancosu and Deiola, while Rog will be called up and "I will decide overnight whether to start him from the beginning or bring him to the bench".

Finally, on the market, Ranieri sends a message to Nainggolan: “You know his vicissitudes better than me, but it doesn't interest him. If he wants to come with the right mentality, he will be welcome."
