Facts matter, not words. And so Mazzarri, almost wanting to underline with silence a decisive moment in Cagliari's salvation race, does not speak on the eve of the direct clash at La Spezia (Saturday at 15).

No press conference, total concentration in view of a play-off with which the rossoblù could give a decisive push to their championship.

Nine days to the end, Cagliari has the opportunity to make a sensational overtaking precisely against Spezia. While the Ligurians have the chance to push the Sardinians down to -4 by placing a mortgage on their stay in Serie A.

It will be a battle on the pitch, but together the two teams will lend a hand to peace. Cagliari welcomed La Spezia's initiative to donate the consideration for ticket sales - including those of the guest sector therefore - to Save the children and Ukrainian children.

“The images coming from Ukraine these days are dramatic. Devastation, pain, tears, many innocent victims including many children - said President Tommaso Giulini -. The club, by supporting the initiative of La Spezia and Save the Children, wants to make its contribution, the goal now is to bring immediate aid to the Ukrainian population that is in absolute and urgent need ".

Returning to purely football issues, Mazzarri will once again have to do without Nandez, who has been absent for two months now. But in midfield he can count on Baselli's full recovery, towards a starting position at the Peak. Forward runoff between Pavoletti and Pereiro for a place next to the usual Joao Pedro.
