Walter Mazzarri and team compared after yesterday's home defeat against Empoli.

The problems in defense, with Cagliari suffering at least two goals per game, and which for the first time also remains without goals.

The rossoblù are penultimate in the standings, with Salernitana they are the only team without a win and have scrapped only one point in three home direct clashes against Spezia, Genoa and Empoli.

A disastrous start to the championship, in the middle a change of coach and around the corner the away match against Napoli.

No one spoke yesterday after the game, apart from the coach. Disappointment also among the fans, the curve responded with whistles to the applause of the rossoblù players and challenged the players and the president.

Not only the obvious defensive gaps (13 goals conceded in 5 games), there is also an inability to build and set up the game in midfield. And here perhaps lies the difference from the Olimpico away game: in Rome Cagliari was called to close and start again, against Empoli it had to do more, it was called to win, it was called to take the initiative, to set up and build the game. Instead he could only admire Empoli who did it very well.

Meanwhile, today Marko Rog underwent surgery for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee. The operation, performed at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome, was perfectly successful. The Croatian midfielder, who would be of great use to this Cagliari, will begin rehabilitation in the coming days. Recovery times are estimated to be around six months.
