Salvation awaited him, suffering throughout the match, then he went to celebrate it under the visitors' sector with Claudio Ranieri: Tommaso Giulini can now rejoice for the goal, achieved by Cagliari a day early. " The dedication is for those who wrote the history of this club and this island like Gigi Riva ", the message as soon as the match against Sassuolo finished.

"It's certainly because of these wonderful people, who never stopped supporting us even in the first round when things weren't going well." The president looks back at the season, looking for the key moments: «With the addition of Mina and Gaetano we had added something more. After the match against Lazio I went to speak and attacked the boys who arrived in the summer because they weren't doing enough, Ranieri did the same. From there the team always gave everything , we believed in it and we didn't give up even after the bad defeat against Genoa. I don't want to answer about the stadium: the institutions should take their responsibilities, even more than what my friend Andrea Abodi is trying to do." Meanwhile there is an announcement: «With this salvation there is the automatic renewal of Bonato for another two years. We want to start again with him, Ranieri and many of these protagonists ."

The permanence

One of the themes of the immediate post-match of Sassuolo-Cagliari is to understand whether Ranieri will remain Cagliari's coach also next season. Giulini leaves every door open: « We'll see him on the bench as long as he wants, there are no contracts . He returned last year, and without Riva it probably wouldn't have happened, and he took us to Serie A with that unforgettable evening in Bari. We thought we were starting better, with the adrenaline of promotion, but we made the fans suffer in the second round. 'gone. This salvation arrives on the birthday of my father, who passed away ten years ago: without him I would never have been able to do what I have done and represent this island that gives us everything." Giulini also had a thought for today's rivals: " I wish Sassuolo the best, they deserve to return to Serie A because they have given a lesson on how football can be played in the province and with few fans ."
