« Cagliari is a tough team, the data tells us that they are good at conquering depth, they produce numerous lateral attacks, they have the ability to be aggressive even at the limits of the regulation. Their coach is competent and capable, very good ."

Thus Davide Nicola on the eve of Empoli-Cagliari , a delicate survival challenge scheduled for Sunday at 3pm at Castellani. The Tuscans get there with a 5 point advantage thanks to the 12 points in 6 games achieved since the man who has already worked miracles in the current championship against Crotone and Salerno has been on the bench.

«Now we have to continue on our path, I really liked this week. I saw the kids demonstrate great awareness of our path and our goal. They worked very hard."

Again on Cagliari: «They come from two draws in Udine and at home with Napoli, they have added two qualitative players like Mina and Gaetano to the squad . We must produce an attentive performance and express ourselves in the best possible way. For me it is important that everyone is aware that there is still a long way to go."

Finally Nicola rallies the public: « We have a tough match ahead of us, all to be played, our public can give us a hand as they have already demonstrated . I hope to hear roars not only when one of our players scores a goal or makes a great play, but also when he runs 25 meters to recover a ball in the defensive phase."
