The third match in eight days, face to face with former president Cellino. But Claudio Ranieri, two days from Brescia-Cagliari, turns his first thought to another piece of rossoblù history, Oscar Washington Tabarez, who turns 76 today: «Let me start with best wishes to Maestro Tabarez. I met him in Brescia, many years ago, when we went to see the trio of wonders Herrera, Francescoli and Fonseca. An exquisite person, best wishes ".

Then there is the present, with Cagliari losing two big shots, Pavoletti (again discomfort in his right ankle) and Rog (extension in his left calf). Ranieri, however, goes straight: «It's a difficult game, we come from a beautiful triptych, in which we have shown compactness and attachment to the shirt». Third game in eight days: «I'll evaluate well and talk to the boys. I know they'll tell me they're ready, but I'll decide by looking at the training sessions and whether they're as reactive as always or not."

A Brescia that fights not to relegate: «There are no easy games, everything is being played out, like us. Because we are here and I won't give up in the run-up to second place, otherwise my career would have been colorless. I don't want to have any regrets, let's fight and see».
