Two wins in a row, seven points from four games, third place in the table for 24 hours .

A dream start for Cagliari, a record in the three-point era . The rossoblù had only earned seven points from their first four games in 2011-12 under Ficcadenti . That year, the first matchday was postponed until December due to a strike by the Italian Footballers' Association, and from the second to the fifth, Cagliari achieved exactly two wins, a draw, and a defeat. Just like this year .

The Rossoblu have never performed better in the three-point era. Cagliari, the Scudetto winners, earned seven points in four games, but they would have earned 10 under current rules, the result of three wins and a draw.

It's a dream come true. After years in the lower reaches of the table, fighting to stay in Serie A until the final days, there's at least hope for a comfortable relegation. But the first to preach calm is Fabio Pisacane , who has had an extraordinary start to his coaching career at the highest level: "There are 34 games left, it's premature to make any conclusions now." So, let's focus on the next matches, both at the Domus: first Frosinone in the Coppa Italia, then Inter .

Yesterday was also the day of Belotti's resurrection . "Il Gallo," described by many as a finished player after disappointing recent seasons, especially in terms of goals, was the absolute protagonist of the victory yesterday with a brace: "I feel everyone's faith in me here, but there's always room for improvement, even at 31."

The team's quality has improved. Folorunsho is essential, Palestra is doing great, and there's no shortage of attacking options (even during the game) with Esposito, Felici, and Gaetano . The central pairing of Mina and Luperto is a sure thing, as is Caprile, one of the league's best goalkeepers.

Last night, the team remained in Lecce. The charter flight that was supposed to take Cagliari home from Brindisi Airport was scheduled to depart at 1:00 AM on Saturday. However, during the initial preparations for departure—with the team still at the Via del Mare stadium—the flight crew encountered a technical problem. The departure was rescheduled, again from Brindisi, with a new charter flight for this afternoon.

Training, initially scheduled for this morning in preparation for the Coppa Italia, will resume on Sunday morning. Frosinone travels to Cagliari on Tuesday, and then Inter Milan travels to the Domus on Saturday.
