The Easter Monday match against Verona is "important but not decisive", said Claudio Ranieri, perhaps also to avoid putting too much pressure on his players.
Of course, starting the final rush with three points would be a real breath of fresh air, also because Cagliari's calendar isn't the simplest. Two more direct clashes after the one with Hellas, one at home and one away, and four of the top five in the class still to be faced in the last eight days of the championship .
After Cagliari-Verona there is a fiery triptych. The rossoblù first host Atalanta , who are in great form even if they now begin a cycle of 9 games in 30 days between the championship, Europa League and Coppa Italia.
Then we go to San Siro against an Inter team that has the scudetto in its pocket but has no other competitions to play and will want to honor the championship to the end , perhaps exceeding 100 points. Juventus arrives at the Domus in the 33rd : a team in crisis, but which must necessarily recover if it doesn't want to risk slipping out of the Champions League zone.
At the 34th away match on the pitch of a Genoa team that no longer has much to ask of this championship, then a direct home clash with Lecce. The last three days: we return to San Siro, against Milan, then Sassuolo-Cagliari (it could be a crucial match, let's hope it isn't). It ends at home against Fiorentina .
A very complicated calendar, which is why it is essential to start off on the right foot and gain a small advantage over the third to last.
