The deficit for Cagliari today is heavy, with Napoli losing 0-4 at the Domus . But Davide Nicola is keen to highlight how much good the rossoblù did for an hour: «If you see the result you think that Cagliari did nothing, but that's not the case», he points out.
"For 65 minutes - he adds - we played a good game, the 0-2 goal came after many of our chances. Then it's obvious that everything becomes more difficult, you have to continue to create but maintaining balance. On one hand I'm very satisfied, because I see that the team is starting to do what we train. But we have to reduce the lapses in concentration and be more practical". The coach has a request: "I don't want us to get discouraged, we have to recover and defend with courage".
Without a striker . Cagliari has scored just one goal in four games and last year no player had scored more than five goals. Nicola does not condemn the attack, however, given the many chances created: «We made a choice, in terms of the market, to sign players who had not already demonstrated numbers. We must have the patience to support them and not exalt them or depress them too much: they have a growth path to follow. If you concede four goals you must improve, but if you watch the entire match - like in Lecce - it is difficult not to have scored with all these chances. Cagliari did what they wanted to do, this is the path we want to continue. I will not give up on anything, I am seeing what I ask for».
For Nicola there is a positive side above all: «I am convinced that this is the team and that the work will show that we have qualities».
