The calendar puts everyone at a crossroads with head-to-head clashes. Already next Sunday's match against Genoa will be decisive for Cagliari and Mazzarri's team will have to make sure to get there by holding the knife on the side of the handle: beating Sassuolo today at 12.30 at the Domus , or drawing in the worst case scenario.

The first concrete signal comes from the fans who, also thanks to the popular prices, have stormed the box office (there are almost 15 thousand already, it is going to be sold-out) and will try to transform the arena into a pit.

Mazzarri prepared the match in a maniacal way in the hope of having identified the right interpreters for his strategy. Goldaniga still out (in addition to Nandez and Strootman). Bated breath for Bellanova on the right, Ceppitelli sees himself again, at least on the bench. Cragno, Altare, Lovato, Carboni, Bellanova (or Zappa), Marin, Grassi, Deiola, Dalbert, Joao Pedro and the former Pavoletti should therefore break the ice with the 3-5-2 module. Presumably on the field through the 4-2-3-1 Sassuolo, with Consiglio, Toljan, Chiriches, Ferrari, Kyriakopoulos, Frattesi, Maxime Lopez, Defrel, Raspadori, Traoré (three goals in the last two games) and Scamacca.

The rossoblù coach trusts his boys and defends them: “We have lost certain characteristics we had until the match against Toro, but unconsciously, because for the boys I am ready to put my hand on fire. The latest blows will bring us a bit of healthy fear, especially in the passive phase, when we lose the ball. We worked on it this week and I am convinced that we will have a strong, important race to reach the goal we know ”.

Healthy fear, but also courage and mind: "With Juve, when we were forced to lower ourselves, we were unable to restart. But instead we will have to keep the pace very high and for this I will take advantage of all the changes, with sixteen owners. But balance will also be needed. because it would be a mistake to go to the white weapon. We have to learn to read the moments of the match, as we did not do against Juventus ".

In this final rush, the nightmare first round still weighs: “But besides our mistakes there was a lot of bad luck. I am convinced that we would have deserved 4-5 points more. But I don't want an alibi, let's think about these six finals that we have to play. We have the future in our hands and we will fight to the end to keep the category ”.
