Cagliari, who goes up and who goes down: Kourfalidis head and quality, Rog nailed to the lawn
After the draw in Frosinone: on the quotations of the young Greek, the Croatian is soft while his teammates went at a thousand
A draw won at the home of leaders Frosinone for Cagliari. Here's who goes up and who goes down after a performance that risked bringing three points to the rossoblù home.
Who goes up: Christos Kourfalidis
Doubt creeps in, and it's legitimate: why was it never taken into consideration until the match with Frosinone? On the field even from the first minute yesterday at the "Stirpe" and - coincidentally - immediately on the piece. And protagonist. Born in 2002, already in the Greek national team, however, often forced to play with Primavera (of which he was captain last year) in order not to lose the rhythm of the game. And in Liverani's first real chance in Cagliari (after the one in the Italian Cup) he showed that he can be there, and how. Breaking attacking midfielder for the occasion, but with mind and quality. He recovered many of those balls without wasting half of them, also showing character against the undisputed leaders of the tournament. Better late than never.
Who goes down: Marko Rog
No, it wasn't exactly day. It was understood right away, already in the first quarter of an hour of the match: all the teammates were going full steam ahead, he remained nailed to the "Stirpe" lawn with a soft approach even in one-on-one situations. Held back by the break, the paradox for the Croatian midfielder who seemed to have acquired at least an acceptable pace after the double cruciate injury but has yet to rediscover - evidently - continuity in performance, both physically and mentally. In the first half he seemed like a shadow of himself. Just a few jerks at the start of the second half to try and make sense of the afternoon in Ciociaria, but it systematically jammed at the best moment. Not surprisingly, he was among the first to leave.
