Assemini. "The match against Lecce will have multiple matches in it. Therefore, reading the moments will make the difference." Fabio Pisacane relaunches the challenge after the defeat to Inter and the elimination from the Coppa Italia against Verona : "The Cup hurt me as it hurt everyone, but it must not confuse us," is the premise of the Cagliari coach, who goes beyond the result and asks his team to respond strongly tomorrow at the Domus starting at 6:30 PM. It's not a question of fury, the Neapolitan coach immediately clarifies. "Furiousness is in Cagliari's DNA; we wouldn't have done what we did last year, otherwise." What kind of Lecce does he expect? "A cautious Lecce who understands the importance of the match. And how much a defeat could weigh, both for us and for them."

Mina, Kevin Carlos, Nzola, and Sugawara are all out, along with Idrissi and Trepy. Sugamele, who scored four goals in his first two Under-20 games, is coming to the rescue from the Primavera. Mendy will once again lead the attack, and Pisacane expects him to make a decisive step forward: "If last year he had nothing to lose and everything to gain, the responsibilities are even greater for him, even more so now that we're outnumbered at the front." Therefore, they're waiting for Nzola, who still needs to find acceptable fitness. "He told us he's convinced his story in Italy isn't over, and I'm convinced he'll write his story with Cagliari."

Regarding Borrelli's transfer to Turkey , the day after the transfer window closed in Italy, the Cagliari coach revealed: "Gennaro is an exceptional player who performed exceptionally well last year; five goals in Serie A is no small feat. During the transfer window, he came to my office and asked if he was the starter I was looking for. I told him he was one of the keys to success and that we were also looking for someone else who could give us more, given the attack's overall lack of finishing last year. He had raised his expectations, and given his personal needs, we decided to accommodate him in this new challenge."
