«This point is gold for its weight» . Claudio Ranieri's analysis leaves no stone unturned on how much the 2-2 draw that Cagliari earned on Inter's pitch is worth, this evening's draw which gives continuity to what was done in the previous days. «We faced Atalanta and Inter one after the other, there was the possibility of scoring zero. We still have to pedal, now another big player like Juventus is arriving. Good for us as we managed to play a great match and regain the result twice. The episodes determine the standings, morale and everything: I believe that the team played with motivation and reason, keeping the ball when they had to and pushing when there was an opportunity ."

The choice. Ranieri surprised with his starting line-up, but then immediately made his first change in the 29th minute: Prati for Jankto. « I'm sorry for Jakub, who was playing well, but he didn't return and we were dancing behind. I needed a role play: from there the situation changed ." For his part, however, there is clear praise towards Cagliari for what they have done not only at the Meazza: «Everyone's work is important, they work at a thousand an hour. I have guys who respect me, believe in me and work hard." The reason for Dossena's non-employment is that he was under a warning, while Ranieri's note on Mina is clear: «He trains slowly, he always has a thousand little problems» .

Nearly. Cagliari could have won it in the 95th minute, again with Viola, but his header was saved by Sommer. « I think he looked more for impact, unfortunately he was a bit tired. It would have been three golden points but let's continue like this ", concludes Ranieri.
