" As a performance we did what we had to do, I can't blame the boys for anything ," says Claudio Ranieri at the end of the match. «For us it doesn't change anything, we know we have to fight until the end and it doesn't demoralize us. We have to play every match with great motivation, then we will see the final result. Congratulations to Maldini for the right angle he has found, Monza has many quality players who can find the pearl at any moment."

ABSENCES AND RETURNS
Cagliari today was reduced to the bare bones due to many being unavailable, especially in attack (but also in defense where Mina was missing). «This is who we are, some matches go well and others less so. We must continue like this and make up for those who weren't there today." For Cagliari now there is the break, then the fundamental Easter Monday match at the Domus against Verona . Ranieri is confident about some return: «I believe we can recover Mina, Luvumbo and Gaetano, so we will have more players available . For us a new championship always begins, unfortunately we are repetitive. But just as it is for us, it is for others."
