Bologna - The finale is a pit. First the penalty not granted for the detention on Joao, then the expulsion of Caceres and the bench that jumps to his feet for only 3 minutes of recovery. In the locker room, Mazzarri is a fury and so it is better to avoid the press conference. And President Giulini takes care of the talk. No controversy with the referee ("with Rome and Bologna there could be other decisions, but nothing sensational"), trust Mazzarri (one of the few certainties of this moment ") and the announcement of the withdrawal to prepare for Saturday's match with Atalanta which is already worth a season.

Deep disappointment

Cagliari loses again and remains with the tail light in hand: "It hurts very badly, it's terrible," explains the owner of Cagliari, whose disappointment is glaring. “I struggle to find an explanation. Our goal has always been salvation, especially remembering how we saved ourselves last season. But I find it hard to give myself an explanation, this is not a last place squad ». One fixed idea: "We must work with our heads down, with humility and personality to change this situation". We think about retirement: «Maybe two or three days before Atalanta, it's a decision that the director and the coach will make. A few days could be useful to compact the group ». Giulini does not rest easy: "It is an unacceptable situation, I am especially sorry for my collaborators and the fans, they do not deserve the last place".

With Mazzarri

The technician remains silent. “In the locker room there was nervousness and bitterness. Better prepare immediately for the match against Atalanta, it is right that I should be the one to put my face to it ». No alibi: «If we are last, it means that something is missing. Sometimes the serenity in the management of the match, sometimes attention, sometimes the attachment to the jersey. We must work with humility ». Starting from the coach: «Mazzarri enjoys my unconditional confidence. It is one of the few certainties, in this moment the players have to cling to him to get out of this situation ». Giulini defends the coach: "Since he's been around we have suffered fewer shots, you can see his work."

Head down

The match against Bologna is a new wound that burns. «Maybe we could command the game more, but against Bologna we played the match that a team must play last in order to score points. Before the goal we hadn't suffered anything, we had had a perfect defensive phase ». There would also be the penalty required for the intervention on Joao Pedro, but Giulini does not go into depth on the subject: «We were unlucky with Roma and here, but nothing sensational. There was a detention on Joao, perhaps with a little luck the penalty could have been whistled ». Attention shifts to injuries: «We lost Rog, here were missing Dalbert and Keita, who are two fundamental owners. Everything goes wrong, but we have to turn our luck with work ». Work can be the only salvation: «We take note of the situation with humility. There are players used to other stages, not used to this situation. Now we need humility and personality to save us, our only goal ".
