No points in the return as a former player for Claudio Ranieri, but the belief that Cagliari, despite being defeated in Naples, has given interesting signals.

«In our best moment they scored the two goals: it's a shame, but this is football», the coach's bitterness (up to a certain point) at the end of the match. «But we must continue like this. In the very first days I knew that we were late, because many players had not been able to do their pre-season preparation together with the team. My players want to do well and stay in Serie A, my job will be completed when I have saved this team. When there are champions you do everything but they solve it: today Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia emerged, congratulations to them."

On the formation choices he explains the reason for Luvumbo during the match: «There are players who can light the fuse, if I start them straight from the start then how can I trigger the reaction? Then they arrive fresh when the opposing teams are tired."

The analysis

As against Sassuolo, former Pavoletti scored, but this time without bringing any points. " It means a lot to me to have him, but I have several captains: Mancosu, Viola, Lapadula, Deiola and all the expert players are positive leaders", commented Ranieri. «I have many, I am a lucky coach because in times of need and necessity these leaders bring all their teammates with them». The assessment of the match sees a two-faced match: «In the second half we did better, playing well. In the first they were dangerous, even though we had one or two nice opportunities to score."
