It is useless to set safety quotas at this time. «It would make no sense. Instead, let's try to reach the objective as soon as possible, without thinking too much about the others» , Davide Nicola cuts short, immediately giving the idea of how focused he is on tomorrow's match at the Domus, during the press conference that took place at the “Crai Sport Center” in Assemini.

The Cagliari coach does not consider safety achieved at all, despite the success in Verona and the +8 on the third-last place. «Also because a calendar full of pitfalls awaits us», he is keen to point out, listing them one by one: «First of all Udinese, a physical team that puts you in difficulty. We already saw it in the first leg. Then Como, of absolute quality. Again Venezia, never tamed. Finally Napoli».

Five days can be enough to recover energy, both physical and mental. «The problem exists, if anything, when there are only three or four». Therefore: «They are all aware that they can play». Except Mina, the only one unavailable. And Pavoletti, bruised after the incredible evening at Benetgodi . «Let's see if and how much we can use him».

Regardless of his use tomorrow afternoon, the compliments are still being poured in for the captain: "Cagliari is lucky to have experienced players who have a sense of responsibility, and this is not at all a given. He does two jobs, in fact. Because in addition to giving a contribution to the team, he is an example to the team, and I am always referring to the pitch ."

What kind of match will Cagliari-Udinese be? «Very intense for sure. For this reason», dictates the line the rossoblù coach, «we will have to be good at interpreting the two phases with vehemence, speed and more courage» .
