Cagliari, who goes up and who goes down: up Luvumbo, down Kourfalidis

Who goes up: Zito Luvumbo

Zito take it all. Right now Luvumbo is perhaps the only Cagliari player capable of inventing and putting the opposing defense under pressure. Devastating in the open field, however, even just half a meter is enough for him to deliver the decisive scuff. Like yesterday in Brescia, on the occasion of the penalty obtained out of nowhere and which unlocked a really complicated match for his team. The explosiveness and unpredictability are nothing new, if anything the care and discipline with which - lately - he has been managing the balls received or recovered (most of the time) with plays functional to the movement of his teammates. And in the non-possession phase, he never lets go.

Who goes down: Christos Kourfalidis

He runs a lot, often empty and without a logical thread. Heart and lungs are not enough to withstand the impact of the Brescian midfield on which he systematically crashes, until Ranieri decides to replace him. After the exploit with which he conquered everyone, especially the coach, and having pulled the cart continuously for two months, did Kourfalidis feel the pinch, both physically and mentally? Maybe he needs to catch his breath, but the emergency in midfield forces him and the few survivors to overtime. Despite his inexperience and some (inevitable) empty passes - he remains the liveliest and most stubborn of the company. At least try, then.
