Three golden points that put Cagliari at the top of the mini ranking of the unsafe teams . Not a small leap: with seven days to go, Ranieri's team is thirteenth with a four-point advantage over third-last Frosinone.
But it's not over, "a big step forward but it doesn't take us all the way, we have to keep pushing" , said the coach at the end of an exciting match. The ranking is very short: Cagliari 30, Lecce 29, Udinese (who have to play against Inter today) and Empoli 28, Verona 27, Frosinone 26, Sassuolo 25. Salernitana, who have 15 points, are condemned.
The calendar is not the simplest. The rossoblù have to face the top three in the standings . Starting from Sunday, when we go to San Siro with Inter as leaders without Deiola and Nandez , who were within a booking of a booking and were booked against Atalanta.
Then Juventus arrives at the Domus. There is also another away match at San Siro against Milan , then two direct clashes ( Lecce at home and Sassuolo away in the penultimate round ) and two games that are anything but simple. One on the Genoa pitch who yesterday demonstrated in Verona that they want to honor the championship to the end and, on the last day, a challenge at the Domus against a Fiorentina who could be in the running for Europe.
In the next round there is a direct clash between Lecce and Empoli, Frosinone goes to Naples, Verona to Bergamo, Sassuolo hosts Milan and Udinese (who still have to play against Inter today) hosts Roma.
Yesterday, and it is certainly not the first time this year, a substitute, Nicolas Viola, gave the victory. Cagliari is second after Milan in terms of goals scored by substitutes during the match . There are 12 of them, the leader of the ranking is Viola who scored the fourth yesterday. If we exclude the one against Torino, all the others gave away points.
With Verona, Sulemana was decisive, signing the equalizer against Verona. Shomurodov's brace came off the bench against Salernitana. And again, Pavoletti's overhead kick, the sensational comeback against Frosinone thanks to three goals from the substitutes (one Oristanio and two Pavoletti). And then Cagliari-Genoa 2-1, with goals from Viola and Zappa, both of whom came on during the match.
