Cagliari, who goes up and who goes down after the victory against Palermo

Cagliari, who goes up and who goes down after the success obtained at home against Palermo.

Who goes up: Nahitan Nandez

"What a mess it will be because I love you. An emotion that grows slowly”. Up to drag the whole team and become a factor. Under all that dust raised far and wide by Nahitan Nandez, the keys to the match. It is he who gives the decisive "oar" stroke when the boat seems to be able to sink at any moment. The (surgical) cross for Deiola allows Segre's advantage to be canceled almost immediately and to wipe out the ghosts in the bud. The break that leads to Marconi's second yellow card is the spark that restores courage to Cagliari while removing a man from Palermo at the same time. Incisive to say the least. And to think that he wasn't in top condition after the blow he received ten days ago at the "Curi" (in fact, he comes out exhausted). The Uruguayan flag is waving again on the rossoblù bridge.

Who goes down: Marco Mancosu

He's subdued and struggles to get into the game. However, Ranieri keeps him on the pitch until the 83rd minute hoping for a decisive play from him which, however, doesn't arrive. A game more of sacrifice and dirty, this time, for Marco Mancosu, equally precious for the economy of the team in the non-possession phase. It's not the same thing, it's true. But the fans themselves take care of wiping away the clouds of a dull performance at the time of the change. The "standing ovation" from Domus that accompanies him off the pitch was truly moving: a tribute to the Eurogol ten days ago in Perugia with which the Sardinian midfielder entered Cagliari's history by right, however the season ends. A physiological empty passage against Palermo, especially after returning from an injury. His 5 on the court, however, reassures. Always, anyway.
