Cagliari debut with Turin: the formations
Challenge at the Olimpico: Ranieri entrusts the attack to Luvumbo, Pavoletti on the bench
The journey restarts from Turin against Juric's grenades. Baptism of fire, therefore, for Ranieri's Cagliari who return to Serie A after a year of purgatory among the cadets and an incredible ride up to the very final of the playoffs against Bari.
"Let's move on, this is a new story yet to be written," the Testaccio coach reiterated in recent days, who in turn is preparing to begin his fifth season on the rossoblù bench (including the three-year period 1988-1991).
For tonight's opening match at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, he chose to rely on Radunovic, Dossena, Goldaniga, Obert, Zappa, Nandez, Makoumbou, Sulemana, Azzi, Oristanio and Luvumbo. Five newcomers in the Italian top flight, therefore, among the initial eleven: they are Dossena, Makoumbou, Luvumbo, Azzi and Oristanio. On the bench, among others, the latest addition Prati. Clearly out Lapadula, Mancosu and Rog.
On the other hand, the Piedmontese formation is aiming for a leap in quality, and therefore for Europe, after last season's growing finale. The icebreaker will be Milinkovic-Savic, Schuurs, Buongiorno, Rodriguez, Bellanova, Ilic, Ricci, Vojvoda, Vlasic, Karamoh and Sanabria. Immediately on the pitch, therefore, the former Bellanova, who scored the only goal for Toro with the Cagliari shirt two years ago.
It is the first of the two postponements of the first day. Kick-off at 18.30, referee Cosso from Calabria. Ball in the center. Finally.
