First friendly in the mountains for Cagliari, the second of the season after the one with Olbia at Nespoli on the occasion of the "Trofeo Sardegna".

Today at 8 pm at the "Perucca" stadium in Saint-Vincent, the rossoblù team faces the Roma Primavera team, who already passed from De Rossi's hands to Guidi last year and won the last Coppa Italia. An already indicative test, therefore, in the third week of preparation. And not surprisingly, Ranieri has put pressure on his team these days, even teasing them with jokes ("In Olbia we were world champions in backwards passes") and thus trying to raise the bar from a competitive point of view.

The Uzbek Shomurodov will hardly be on the field, as he arrived in training camp yesterday evening after the medical examinations divided into two tranches at Villa Stuart and remained this morning in the hotel waiting for the official go-ahead. There certainly won't be Jankto, who is constantly under control for a problem in his left thigh. Nandez, Lapadula, Mancosu, Capradossi and Desogus will also watch the match from the grandstand, who are doing a personalized job. The ice breaker could be the eleven often tested together with the Châtillon field, namely Radunovic, Zappa, Dossena, Obert, Augello, Makoumbou, Deiola, Sulemana, Oristanio, Pavoletti and Azzi. Sporting director Bonato and secretary general Stagno also arrived in Val d'Aosta for the occasion.
