Tomorrow (Friday) at 20.45 there is Cagliari-Venice at Unipol Domus. For the Sardinians only one goal: three points to get back on top in the standings and above all to regain confidence after a disastrous start to the championship, with two draws and four defeats in the first six days.

Cagliari is the only team, with Salernitana, not to have won, despite three direct home clashes, and - with 15 goals conceded - is the worst defense in the league on a par with Salernitana, Spezia and Genoa.

Walter Mazzarri does not think about the ranking and focuses on the preparation work done to reach this crucial match in the best conditions: "This too - he observes - was a short week, but at least I had two more days to work on the pitch. . We have tried and tested certain automatisms to assimilate them to the fullest. The guys put a lot of effort into it, showing that they quickly understand what interests me ”.

Tommaso Giulini was also present at training yesterday, and makes us understand the delicacy of the moment. The line-up: “I still have some doubts, but I can evaluate who is better based on the training and not just the matches. These two more days were also useful for recovering physical and mental energy and that brilliance that failed in Naples ”.

“As an opponent - says Mazzarri - I remember how difficult it was to win in Cagliari, now we have to reverse the trend at home. I want to see our spirit, the team must be more compact and give even more than it has in the tank ”.

The classification: “Taken to look at it, we have to look at the progress made by the team and be lucid. The boys are the first to want to get out of this situation, but I want to see some optimism ”.

Boys tense for the results that do not arrive, but it takes "more optimism" and you have to "play carefully, not with tension".

The opponents: “Venezia are a carefree team, they play with the enthusiasm of the newly promoted team and have nothing to lose, just like Empoli. It moves a lot and has mechanisms memorized, which makes it even more dangerous. If we are good at replicating on the pitch what we have tried in recent days, playing the ball, I am confident I can put them in difficulty ”.

The physical condition: “There are guys who arrived on the last day of the transfer market, others are injured and have to follow a path to find the best shape. Three games played in a week have shown that those who have had physical problems could not yet keep up with the pace of 90 minutes ”.
