Salvation, heart-pounding final rush: it is mandatory to score points against Inter
Four points may be enough, but six may not be enough. Cagliari also depends on the results of the others, and watch out for direct clashes in case of arrival on equal pointsAt 99 'Cagliari was with a foot and a half in Serie B, Altare's header kept Agostini's team alive ( THE CHRONICLE and REPORT CARDS ), now ready to restart in view of a final rush to salvation that promises to be heart-stopping.
And very insidious, because for the Sardinians it is not enough to win the last championship in the home of a Venice that is mathematically still in the running but in fact is practically doomed. We need to do the feat against Inter , still in full swing for the championship, with Barella and his teammates arriving at the Domus on Sunday evening knowing the result of Milan-Atalanta and who absolutely must win to continue hoping for the tricolor.
Sampdoria and Spezia are still affordable with 33 points , followed by Salernitana at 30 , Cagliari at 29 , at 28 there is a Genoa reinvigorated by the photo finish victory over Juventus and at 25 Venice closes the table .
Four points may be enough, but six may not be enough . And to save himself by scoring three points in the last two it would take a harakiri from rivals. In short, Cagliari also depends on the other results. Sampdoria closes the championship at San Siro with Inter, first they will face Fiorentina at home , both teams that still have something to ask from the championship. Spezia goes to Udine and closes at home against Napoli , formations with a calm ranking situation and no goals to reach. Salernitana, on the other hand, first goes to Empoli, then faces Udinese . Then Genoa: he goes to Naples, closes the championship at home with Bologna . Venice, winning in Rome against Mourinho's team and at home against Cagliari, would reach 31: it will hardly be enough, which is why the lagoons are practically doomed and losing on Sunday at the Olimpico (Rome still has a place in Europe still to be conquered) would be mathematically in B.
In case of arrival on equal points : with Sampdoria Cagliari would be ahead in direct clashes, with Genoa and Spezia at a disadvantage, with Salernitana in perfect equality but with the goal difference clearly in favor of the Sardinians.
Too many ifs and too many buts , in short. But this is the championship final that Cagliari has built for itself, now we have to give everything without making too many calculations and hope that the direct competitors will make some false step.
